Who remembers Paul Harvey’s radio broadcasts, “The Rest of the Story?” We have quite the rest of the story for you today.

Many of you may remember Dean Feener’s blog from last November, “A Voice-Guided Path to Safer Dialysis,” which shared how he created the hands-free app Dial-Assist to guide his dad through home HD treatments (https://homedialysis.org/.../670-a-voice-guided-path-to...). It's an incredible example of what patient-driven innovation can look like in real life.

Read today’s blog to see what happened next for the Feener family...it's definitely one worth reading!

Have you ever felt this way about taking a CE class?

“It’s all theory, no practical takeaways I can use tomorrow.”
“It doesn’t respect how experienced nurses already are.”
“The content doesn’t match what I actually see with my patients."

We hear this all the time.

That's exactly what SPARK is designed to change.

In honor of National Kidney Month, we're offering a FREE SPARK CE CLASS:
The "Flip" - Switching from PD to Home HD
Real scenarios. Real decisions. Real-world application.
