Georgia faces a silent kidney disease crisis, with 1.2 million adults affected and only 147,000 aware of their condition. Dr. Sharica Brookins launched Remote Renal Care in 2018, the state’s first fully virtual nephrology practice, to bridge the specialist gap in rural areas. By partnering with the VA, deploying mobile clinics, and integrating remote patient monitoring for home dialysis, her model cuts wait times, lowers no‑show rates, and accelerates treatment. The initiative demonstrates how telehealth can transform chronic‑care delivery in underserved regions.
