The Kidney Navigator program supports Oak Street Health patients who have advanced chronic kidney disease and/or end stage renal disease. Patients are assigned a nurse practitioner and a community health worker who will deliver personalized kidney care and support services. A Kidney Navigator team member does NOT replace your Oak Street Health physician or any current services, and you’ll never pay anything for the Kidney Navigator program. Your Kidney Navigator care team, and primary care team will work together closely. The kidney navigator will help coordinate referrals to specialists, appointments, prescription refills, deliveries of medications and more. Plus you get 24/7 access to care from kidney-specific experts and a direct phone line to discuss your kidney-related needs.
