Treatments

Renal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that helps filter waste products, salt and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys lose function. Dialysis also helps restore electrolyte balance and controls blood pressure.

Our inpatient and outpatient facilities are staffed by specially trained physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and technicians who monitor your dialysis treatments and assist you with any medical concerns.

Social workers are available to answer your questions about insurance, transportation, community resources, and work and family issues. Dietitians help you plan for your individual dietary needs.
