Fresenius Medical Care Opens New Dialysis Treatment Facility in Las Vegas
Nation’s Leading Dialysis Provider to Serve Growing Patient Community
LAS VEGAS – April 10, 2012 – Fresenius Medical Care North America, the nation’s leading network of dialysis facilities, today announced the opening of Fresenius Medical Care West Sahara, a new dialysis clinic that will serve the area’s growing population of patients with chronic kidney disease.
The Medicare-certified facility is located at 7710 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 120. For more information on the clinic, which is now accepting new patients, call 1-702-243-2763 or 1-866-4-DIALYSIS (1-866-434-2597).
Fresenius Medical Care West Sahara features:
– 13 dialysis treatment stations.
– CHAIRSIDE® online charting and electronic health record system with touch-screen monitors at dialysis stations, for clinical staff to accurately enter and securely track critical patient information.
– Single use of dialyzers, unlike other facilities that may disinfect and reuse them.
– An emergency backup electrical generator to help continue critical patient care in the event of a power outage.
– Treatment stations designed for patient comfort and convenience that feature individual media systems.
– Wireless internet access in the facility for patients who bring their own computers.
“At this new Fresenius Medical Care facility, patients will benefit from the latest treatment methods while receiving excellent, patient-centered care from our dedicated team,” said Jennifer Lataban, R.N., clinical manager for Fresenius Medical Care. “Dialysis patients spend many hours receiving treatment each week, so we are pleased to offer this level of care in a more convenient location for people in the Las Vegas area.”
Fresenius Medical Care West Sahara offers other dialysis patient services including a kidney transplant support program, anemia management, nutrition counseling, bone disease management and social worker support. Dr. Jeffrey Ryu, a nephrologist (kidney specialist) with Kantor Nephrology in Las Vegas, provides medical director oversight at the new facility.
Fresenius Medical Care also offers a Treatment Options Program (TOPs), educational seminars at no cost, to inform at-risk patients and their families about chronic kidney disease and all available treatments for kidney failure, including the various modalities of dialysis and kidney transplant. Sessions are open to the public and are held on a regular basis at several facilities in the area; call toll-free 1-877-TOPS-LIFE (1-877-867-7543) for more information.
All Fresenius Medical Care facilities share the company’s UltraCare® mission of delivering excellent, patient-centered care through innovative programs, the latest technology, continuous quality improvement and a focus on superior customer service.
Dialysis is a life-sustaining process that cleans waste products from the blood, removes extra fluids and controls the body’s chemistry when a person’s kidneys fail. Dialysis patients typically require treatment on an ongoing basis unless they receive a kidney transplant.
