Onsite dialysis

If you or your loved one require dialysis while in our care, you can receive it in the comfort of our hospital. Our portable dialysis machine makes dialysis easy and convenient. Instead of having to transfer to another care facility to receive your dialysis, our care team can administer this life-sustaining procedure at our hospital.
