"The staff is the most caring group of professional I have ever been treated by. They pay attention to each of their patients and consistently monitor their treatment. They put their heart into everything they do and I'm lucky to have found them and to be here on my days of dialysis." — Joseph O.
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. During National Nurses Week, we thank our remarkable nurses and celebrate the many ways their compassion and professionalism deliver more tomorrows to our patients, their families, and friends.

Patient Experience Week ends today, right as the ICH CAHPS Survey starts. That timing isn't a coincidence.

The survey takes just a few minutes and your answers shape how dialysis care is measured and improved at centers across the country, including this one.
If you get the call, pick up and share your experience!

Your immune system can be affected by kidney disease and dialysis, which can make it harder to fight off infections. During World Immunization Week, it is worth taking a moment to think about how vaccines fit into protecting your health.
Vaccines are not one-size-fits-all. Your care team can help you understand which vaccines are appropriate for you and when to receive them based on your treatment plan. If you have questions about vaccines, talk with your care team.
