DENVER, Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kidney Smart®, an award-winning, interactive community and virtual education program, has achieved a new milestone: 10 years of providing comprehensive kidney disease education to more than 235,000 people. The program reached a record-setting 28,000 participants in 2021.
"At DaVita, we believe an informed patient is an empowered patient," said Dr. Jeff Giullian, chief medical officer for DaVita.

Kidney Smart is one of the first comprehensive community-based kidney education programs. Available at no-cost, Kidney Smart features interactive kidney education and is open to anyone in the community.
The instructor-led classes provide group and one-on-one education about:
- How the kidneys function;
- Effects of kidney disease;
- Treatment options; and
- The role medications, diet and nutrition play in disease management and prevention.
The curriculum is tailored for those diagnosed with kidney disease, along with their caregivers, family members and friends.
One in seven Americans—approximately 37 million people—are in one of the five stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to the vague symptoms associated with the disease, approximately 90% of people are unaware of their diagnosis until the disease progresses to kidney failure.
Education is key to improving patient outcomes. DaVita patients who have attended a Kidney Smart class have been shown to be six times more likely to start dialysis at home, three times more likely to get a kidney transplant, and miss 38% fewer treatments during their first 90 days on dialysis, as compared to patients who do not participate in the program.1
"As a Kidney Smart educator, I love the connection I've been able to develop with individuals who attend our classes," said Synthia Webster, RD, a DaVita dietitian and Kidney Smart Educator. "It's been so rewarding to observe how this education puts patients on the right path to feel more confident managing their disease and choosing the treatment option that best fits their lifestyle."
Kidney Smart classes are now more widely offered in a virtual format in addition to community classes. The expanded telephonic and virtual access has made it possible for more people than ever before to experience Kidney Smart education.
