Become a Sponsor
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 sponsors 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
- Journals and publications in the renal field
