This National Donate Life Month, we recognize the importance of supporting living donors and removing barriers that may stand in their way.

Fresenius Medical Care (FME) is part of the American Society of Transplantation’s (AST) Living Donor Circle of Excellence, a program designed to remove important barriers to living donors. Recovering from donor surgery takes time, and donors may experience lost wages due to taking time off from work, possibly creating significant financial hardship for them. The Circle of Excellence tries to address this by recognizing leading organizations, such as FME, that take a stand and amend their paid time off policy to explicitly include living donation.

In 2022, FME joined the AST Living Donor Circle of Excellence by providing six weeks of 100% paid time off to employees in North America, and later extended this benefit to employees globally.

At Fresenius Medical Care, supporting our people means being there when it matters most.

Tammy, a Clinic Administrative Assistant, faced a difficult time when her youngest daughter, Anna, was seriously injured in a car accident caused by another driver running a red light. The accident left Anna unable to walk for more than a year and required multiple surgeries and extensive physical therapy.

At the same time, Tammy’s husband, Steve, underwent knee replacement surgery and experienced complications related to a previous stroke. It was one of the most challenging times for Tammy and her family. With mounting medical expenses, the family faced significant financial strain.

That’s when Tammy turned to the CARES Fund, Fresenius Medical Care’s global employee hardship fund. And, she has since become an advocate for the CARES Fund, helping colleagues learn about the support available to them during difficult times.

Stories like this remind us that caring for people goes beyond the work we do every day. If you’re looking to join an organization that truly cares people, explore opportunities with us: Jobs.FreseniusMedicalCare.com

We had an energizing few days at the World Congress of Nephrology 2026 in Yokohama, Japan, connecting with clinicians and thought leaders across the nephrology community. The conversations around patient empowerment and the future of kidney care were truly inspiring.

We also proudly unveiled our “Why I love home dialysis” campaign, bringing authentic physician voices on the value of home dialysis to the global nephrology community. Through the real stories from nephrologists across Asia Pacific, we hear how home dialysis impacts both patients and the physicians dedicated to this field, giving them a strong sense of purpose and fulfilment in making a difference in patients’ lives.

These narratives, featured throughout the WCN congress, helped spark important discussions on reimagining kidney care and expanding access to home therapies around the world.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our Fresenius Medical Care booth, shared their insights, and helped amplify these important voices. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together to expand access to home therapies across the region and beyond.

Throughout the month of March, colleagues from around the world have come together to mark World Kidney Day and National Kidney Month in the U.S. Across 21 countries and more than 100 locations, they brought our purpose to life through screenings and learning events that raise awareness of kidney health and early detection.

At our headquarters in Bad Homburg, Germany, senior leadership led by example by participating in the screenings and demonstrating their strong support for the initiative, and across the globe, similar activities took place: Colleagues from our offices, clinics, and production plants in Colombia, Mexico, Singapore, the Philippines, Poland, and many other locations came together to start conversations and take action against chronic kidney disease.

Click through the images from our screenings around the world and join us in giving a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this initiative possible.

Do patients included in randomized controlled trials for HDF actually reflect the patients we treat in everyday clinical practice? In a recent study, Krister Cromm, Senior Director of Person-Centered Outcomes Research, and Ngoc Pham, Manager of Person-Centered Outcomes Research, set out to answer this question in dialysis care.

We already know from the CONVINCE randomized trial that hemodiafiltration (HDF) reduces all-cause mortality compared with conventional guideline-based hemodialysis and that it also improves patient reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life. However, a key challenge remained: randomized controlled trials are often criticized for enrolling selected patient populations. This matters because treatment recommendations should only change if trial results are relevant to real-world patients.

To learn how they answered this question, watch the latest episode of Research in Brief below and explore the full findings via the link: https://freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/media/multimedia/videos/research-in-brief-population-characteristics-in-randomized-trials-for-hdf/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=24mar2026_research_in_brief_clinical_trials_hdf

This Sunday is World Water Day 💧

Dialysis depends on water – and on purity. Every hemodialysis treatment requires substantial volumes of water. Only part is used to prepare the dialysate. Additional volumes are needed for priming, rinsing, disinfection, standby phases, and treatment processes.

And every drop must be purified to the highest standards before it reaches a patient. Reliable access to sufficient, high-quality water for people living with chronic kidney failure is life-sustaining.

One tangible example is our Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. By combining smart technology with high purification performance, they support more efficient water and energy use in clinics – helping reduce resource consumption while maintaining the standards patients rely on.

On World Water Day, we are reminded: protecting water resources is not only an environmental priority – it is fundamental to sustaining patient care, today and for the future.

Delivering this life-sustaining care depends on safe, reliable operations, strong systems, responsible resource use, and the people behind it.

That’s why sustainability is embedded in how we operate, not treated as a separate initiative. It’s about future-proofing exceptional kidney care.

Discover how dialysis at home can open up new possibilities. With home therapies from Fresenius Medical Care, patients may have the flexibility to dialyze during the day, overnight, or even while traveling. For many, that means greater independence and more control over daily life – while also supporting overall health and quality of life.
