A huge thanks to Kidney Care Specialists, LLC for sponsoring our upcoming Drive for Dialysis in Dayton! Here is a quick word from our sponsor:

"At Kidney Care Specialists, we treat all aspects of renal care. This includes both your physical and emotional needs. Our practice is owned by our board-certified physicians, not a large hospital network, so every patient matters and is given an individualized treatment plan. We have been caring for patients throughout Southwest Ohio since 2009 at our two office locations and have grown into the leading nephrology practice in the area. Our team of board certified, diverse, caring, family-oriented physicians have over 50 years of combined experience in the Nephrology field. Our staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. We use certified EHR technology (Epic), offer a patient portal, electronic payments and accept all major insurance plans. We are always accepting new patients!"

This Thursday, November 6th, we will collaborate with Dayton community partners to learn, connect, and build care packages for Dayton dialysis patients. Connect with [email protected] to learn more!
