West Virginia Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Prevention Program
The West Virginia Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Prevention Program aims to prevent and manage CKD by integrating registered dietitians into the care plan for West Virginians residing in the counties of Boone, Greenbrier, Jackson, Mingo, Roane and Wyoming. While the emphasis of this program is on those counties, all West Virginia residents are encouraged to participate.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can significantly impact quality of life if left untreated. Our program aims to provide you with personalized nutrition therapy to manage conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, and CKD. By partnering with healthcare providers, we offer telehealth consultations covered by insurance to support your journey towards better health.

This project is a collaborative effort between Quality Insights and Renal RD WV, LLC, aimed at empowering patients, supporting providers, and improving outcomes in CKD management across West Virginia. Our program seeks to enhance patient care by integrating Registered Dietitians (RDs) into the healthcare team. Through our referral system, providers can connect patients with RDs for tailored nutrition therapy, improving outcomes for individuals with CKD, Diabetes, and Hypertension. Training and support are provided to streamline the referral process and ensure effective collaboration.

Before joining the WV CKD Prevention Program, I spent hours researching dietary information on my own. Thanks to the program, my eGFR has improved from 45 to 80 since early 2024. This program will be a valuable asset for West Virginians, helping them start kidney care early and improving the overall health of our state.
