Ramon’s passion lies in working to delay the progression of kidney failure and to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with CKD. Ramon believes the current practices aimed at these problems have resulted in stagnant, unacceptably high mortality and cardiovascular event rates in this patient population. He embraces the Somatus approach to personalized care, integrated health strategies, and evidence-based clinical practices to transform kidney care.
