Abstract

There is a critical need to discover health-promoting strategies to address a growing Hispanic immigrant adult population with diabetes who are at risk or have chronic kidney disease. Fellows are uniquely positioned to lead research efforts focused on community outreach to recruit this population to a kidney health clinic. Innovative models of care are important to provide care to a population who may not seek medical attention. The author collaborated with a registered renal dietician to develop a kidney health clinic. Funding from the American Nephrology Nurses Association enabled a feasibility study to recruit patients and test the effects of a model of care on patient related and health care system outcomes.
