In 1993 there were over 500,000 patients receiving dialysis treatments worldwide. The latest data from the National Kidney Foundation reports that there are approximately 300,000 people in the United States who are being treated for End Stage Renal Disease with dialysis.

A review of current industry literature suggests that most patients receiving dialysis treatments report that their quality of life is good. Recognizing this to be true we have consistently encouraged our patients to lead an active life style. In fact, a recent study conducted in our facility revealed 73% of our patients reported a good quality of life.

In an attempt to promote this more active lifestyle we are working with Medical Travel, Inc. to provide patients living with kidney failure on dialysis the opportunity to vacation in South Florida using our facility as their travel base.

Our recently completed 21-station state-of-the-art dialysis unit offers individualized prescription hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis to the patient with End Stage Renal Disease. Treatments are conveniently scheduled to accommodate the traveling patient so that he/she may get the most pleasure out of his or her vacation.

The dialysis unit is staffed by board certified nephrologists, who are staff nephrologists at Boca Raton Community Hospital, and also hold faculty positions at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Accompanied by an expert staff of administrators, registered nurses and technicians, the nephrologists’ goal is to provide the utmost in quality care.

If you are scheduling your Florida vacation, call 561-893-6878. Let us handle your dialysis and travel needs while planning your cruise, or your visit to fun destinations such as Key West, Walt Disney World/Universal Studios, Cape Canaveral, the Everglades, or any number of fabulous South Florida attractions.

Patients traveling from other countries are welcome, and may bring their own medications.
