Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing problem in the United States. The urgent need for supportive services regarding hemodialysis is apparent when looking at the volume of patients requiring this life-saving procedure in northern Michigan. These patients often lack information and treatment surrounding their disease. Our intent would be to create a resource center which would provide public information and facilitate services for these patients and their families.
