Our Dialysis Access Center is dedicated to improving dialysis access care and patient's quality of life by rapid delivery of dialysis access care through maximizing access life and minimizing complications as an alternative to hospitalization. Our nephrologists and dialysis access coordinators are focused on educating patients about benefits of a fistula for dialysis access and encourage early creation of AV Fistulas instead of relying on grafts and catheters. We have programs and protocols in place for catheter reduction at the dialysis units. Our goal is to have more than 70% of our patients with fistulas and less than 5 percent of our patients using catheters.
