Growing up, Chris’ mother had chronic kidney disease (CKD). By age 13, Chris had witnessed firsthand the life-sustaining impact of Vantive’s therapies, including peritoneal dialysis, which he helped his mother perform at home. Years later, Chris found himself in need of the same care and became a home dialysis patient himself while he awaited a kidney transplant.
This year, Chris celebrates four years since his transplant. In his work at Vantive, he draws on his personal experience as a home dialysis patient to create tools, implement training, and improve processes that enhance how Vantive supports patients facing the same questions, challenges, and concerns he once did.
