Who We Are

Evergreen Nephrology partners with nephrologists to deliver a reimagined healthcare experience for people living with kidney disease through a value-based, person-centered, holistic, and comprehensive approach to kidney care. We believe patients living with kidney disease deserve the best care. We improve patient outcomes and improve quality of life by delaying disease progression, shifting care to the home, and accelerating kidney transplants.

We help nephrologists focus on the right patients at the right time across the full care spectrum. We do this by providing them with the best-in-class interdisciplinary clinical resources, analytical insight and tools, and services to patients.

We listen to the needs of our patients, our employees, and our physician partners, continually working to change the status quo in which the care system manages patients today.

We contract with health plans and Risk Based Entities (RBEs) to make Evergreen’s clinical services available to their members who are living with kidney disease. Evergreen contracts with Medicare Advantage, commercial and Medicaid health plans. Additionally, Evergreen contracts with other RBEs, often risk-bearing primary care organizations or ACOs, which deliver value-based care to a broader population.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
