Corporate sponsorship
Learn more about
We believe that home dialysis is good for patients, providers, and payers—and can even help ease the nursing shortage. Moreover, we also believe that it will take a long-term, focused effort to increase the numbers of patients who have ready access to all forms of home therapy. That's why we started Home Dialysis Central. Our goals are:
- To increase knowledge of and interest in home dialysis among patients and clinicians
- To increase the number of patients initiating home dialysis and staying on it
- To increase demand for home dialysis training programs
- To encourage home dialysis patients to advocate on behalf of home therapies
Who is sponsoring Home Dialysis Central?
The website is jointly sponsored by a group of interested parties from the renal community, including:
- Clinics and corporate providers that offer home dialysis programs
- Companies that manufacture products used in home dialysis
- Organizations that want to increase the numbers of patients who use home dialysis
