What founding members say
Why people join Signals.
“I first came to Signals trying to make sense of value-based care through impenetrable CMS documentation and standards. It quickly became my go-to resource, and the value has only compounded over time as the network has grown.”
“Signals is my resource for what impacts kidney disease. It uses an educational and provocative approach to challenge me and keep me up to date.”
“I joined Signals to connect with people across the kidney care community, learn from different perspectives, and contribute more than 30 years of experience as a kidney patient to conversations that can help improve care.”
“I joined Signals because it has become an important nephrology ecosystem for innovators involved in drug company research, medical device development, and raises visibility in the investment environment.”
“I joined Signals because I've missed having an online home for nephrology discussions and connections.”
“I joined Signals because I want to see how we can better integrate peer mentoring and patient-centered tech to improve long-term transplant outcomes.”
