Mission
To care for people's kidney health through comprehensive, close, and evidence-based care, from prevention and early detection to treatment and lifelong support.
We organize a care journey alongside each individual, their family, and their primary care physician, coordinating different disciplines and levels of care. We guide follow-up based on risk, needs, preferences, and living conditions, with special attention to situations of greater vulnerability.
We integrate education, research, and technology to strengthen autonomy, facilitate access, and sustain continuity of care.
Vision
To contribute to more equitable and sustainable kidney health, where every person can access the care they need in a timely manner, understand their options, and participate in decisions about their health.
We aspire to consolidate and share a community-built model that connects primary care with specialized care, transforming scientific evidence and everyday learning into better ways of caring.
Values
- The person at the center. We recognize each person's history, bonds, strengths, and life purpose. We listen to what matters to them and agree on care goals that are meaningful to them.
- Supported autonomy. We provide clear, understandable information, education, and support for decision-making and self-care. We respect each person's preferences and possibilities, maintaining our professional commitment to accompany them.
- Equity. We seek to identify and reduce the barriers that hinder access to and continuity of care. We consider social, economic, and family conditions as part of care.
- Continuity and responsibility. We are committed to coordinated care, with clear roles and communication among everyone involved. We strive to ensure that every relevant finding receives a response and every plan, follow-up.
- Ethics and transparency. We act with honesty, protect privacy, and promote informed decision-making. We uphold these commitments in both care and research.
- Evidence, learning, and innovation. We integrate scientific knowledge with clinical expertise and people's preferences. We evaluate our practice and develop tools to address specific needs and improve care.
Caring is building, together with each person, a viable path to living better.
