Satellite Healthcare / WellBound

The organization provides both center-based hemodialysis and home-based dialysis modalities, including peritoneal dialysis, through its network of dialysis centers and home programs. Satellite Healthcare positions itself as a mission-driven provider focused on individualized patient experiences, clinical quality, and compassion for people living with kidney disease. The WellBound brand specifically supports home dialysis options and patient education programs. Nursing roles at Satellite Healthcare include registered nurses in dialysis centers, home health registered nurses, peritoneal dialysis RNs, nurse managers, and specialized roles such as Kidney Options Educators who guide patients and caregivers through renal modality education from referral through access placement and eventual admission into dialysis programs. The organization emphasizes collaboration between operations, field staff, and physicians to promote home modalities and patient-centered kidney care. For nurses, the work environment centers on chronic dialysis care, patient education, and long-term relationships with kidney disease patients rather than acute episodic care.

Satellite Healthcare's stated mission is to 'make life better for those with kidney disease.' Their vision is to be 'unsurpassed in our individualized experience, our quality, and our compassion.' The organization maintains core beliefs and guiding principles that emphasize patient-centered care, collaboration, and promoting home dialysis modalities as a preferred treatment option.
