Outset Medical Will Support Nephrology Nurses Through ANNA Partnership

Outset Medical, Inc., a medical technology company working to lower the cost and complexity of dialysis, is partnering with the American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) as a member of ANNA’s new Partnership Advisory Council.

Through this partnership, Outset will support ANNA’s efforts to expand the role of nephrology nurses, attract and retain more nurses in the field of kidney patient care, and advocate for policy changes to better support the entire kidney care workforce. This is critical work, particularly because the number of people living with chronic kidney disease is growing, while the field of nephrology faces a nursing shortage. As a member of the Partnership Advisory Council, Outset will provide insight and feedback on the future of nephrology nursing.

Michele Kimball, ANNA’s executive director, said of the partnership, “Industry participation aids in our ongoing efforts to provide top-tier education, advocacy, and networking opportunities, all of which helps enable our members to excel in delivering high-quality patient care.”
