Evergreen Connected Care, powered by Phamily, combines deep kidney care expertise with the leading AI care management platform to improve the lives of those with chronic kidney disease
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Evergreen Nephrology, a national nephrology network and leader in value-based models for kidney care, today announced a partnership with Phamily©, Jaan Health’s best-in-class, AI-powered proactive care management platform. The partnership will enable Evergreen Connected Care, a proactive kidney care management service for nephrology practices that combines Phamily’s advanced AI capabilities and Evergreen’s extensive experience working with nephrologists to provide comprehensive kidney care.
Evergreen Connected Care enables nephrology practices to deliver population-wide care, support sustainable fee-for-service revenue, and build the operational foundation for value-based care success while optimizing patient care across chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages, dialysis transitions, and comorbidities. The partnership further equips providers to achieve:
- Enhanced care management by Evergreen clinical staff, enabled by Phamily’s best-in-class AI, that provides clinical decision support and comprehensive care plan development for a practice’s patient population.
- Accelerated patient engagement and satisfaction through an omni-channel communication platform, making it easy for patients to reach their care team between visits.
- Enhanced reimbursement models for delivering proactive, high-frequency care coordination outside the four walls of the clinic to avoid patients falling through the cracks between visits.
“Nephrologists are responsible for managing a patient population with complex needs and providing high-touch care to drive better outcomes, but they are also tasked with managing practices amid administrative tasks, rising costs, and financial pressures,” said Heather Trafton, chief executive officer of Evergreen Nephrology. “Practices implementing Evergreen Connected Care get our skilled care managers operating seamlessly on behalf of their practice, with Phamily’s AI-enabled platform and best practices from over a decade of experience driving better care planning and ongoing engagement. This can help ensure that patients’ needs are being met while reducing the strain on nephrologists, allowing for more patients to receive much needed care.”
Evergreen Connected Care empowers patients to take an active role in their care with continuous access to their multidisciplinary team and support throughout every stage. With the integration of Phamily’s easy-to-use, AI-driven technology, providers can continue to deliver timely and personalized care across their entire patient population using skilled Evergreen care managers and AI tools to ensure timely follow-ups and documentation. Nephologists can increase the amount of time they spend with patients rather than spend it on paperwork and manual check-ins.
“Many patients with chronic conditions like CKD require significant between-visit care – care that is often hard to deliver and uncompensated if it is,” said Nabeel Kaukab, founder and chief executive officer at Jaan Health. “By bringing Phamily’s platform and decade-long clinical AI track record to the nephrology experts and care managers behind Evergreen Connected Care, we take the burden off nephrology practices by equipping them with enhanced technology infrastructure for patient enrollment, consistent clinical workflows, effective documentation, built-in compliance safeguards, and performance management.”
