Renal Dialysis
The mission of the Renal Dialysis Department at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital is to provide comprehensive renal replacement therapy by a multidisciplinary patient care team.
This team, consisting of Physicians, Registered Nurses, Patient Care Technicians/LNAs, Renal Social Workers and a Renal Dietitian, administers and/or coordinates a broad spectrum of services to the renal dialysis population.
As an End Stage Renal Disease Program at DHMC, the treatment options offered include outpatient chronic renal dialysis management, in-center hemodialysis, "acute" hemodialysis treatments, home peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation.
DHMC serves patients from the Upper Connecticut Valley, which includes the states of Vermont and New Hampshire with a geographic radius in excess of 150 miles.
