New program website announced along with seventh annual event

Plano, Texas – U.S. Renal Care (USRC), a leading provider for chronic and acute renal disease, today
announced its seventh annual Nephrology Business Leadership (NBLU) program will be held August 9th‐
13th, 2022, at Hilton Granite Park in Plano, Texas. The event, created and managed in conjunction with
the University of California San Diego Division of Nephrology & Hypertension and Dallas Renal Group, a
large private nephrology practice in Dallas, brings together nephrology professionals to equip senior
nephrology fellows with the tools they need to succeed in the field.

Speakers for the event will include successful practicing nephrologists, leaders from renal trade
associations, and faculty from multiple academic institutions. This year’s event will allow fellows to lead
engaging, interactive experiences through a variety of hands‐on workshops.

“I encourage all graduating fellows to participate! Attend NBLU, and I promise you that you will take
something away that will apply to you,” said Dr. Raad Chowdhury, NBLU alumnus 2021.

In support of NBLU 2022, U.S. Renal Care has launched a new website for the program, NBLUniv.org.
Visitors to the site will find in‐depth information on the upcoming conference as well as material from
past conferences. Senior fellows graduating in 2023 are invited to apply for the program through the
site.

“I love seeing the next generation of nephrology leaders take control of their future, and I’m fortunate
to have a front‐row seat watching like‐minded professionals form lifelong friendships,” said Dr. Mary
Dittrich, executive vice president and chief medical officer for U.S. Renal Care. “I look forward to
welcoming fellows this summer. NBLU promotes the bright future of nephrology, and USRC proudly
supports it. I circle this event on my calendar every year!”
