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.
The Medicare-certified facility is located at 123 Progress Parkway, Sullivan.
