Transient Patients

Centers for Dialysis Care patients planning a trip or vacation

If you are a Centers for Dialysis Care patient planning a trip or vacation, we will assist you in setting up your dialysis in your destination city.  Please speak to the Patient Service Representative (PSR) at your home unit to inform them of your travel plans.  You may also request a  trip / vacation form from your home unit.  Once the form has been completed it should be given to the PSR for that facility.  The PSR will contact a dialysis unit I the area in which you are traveling and arrange your dialysis treatments.  If you have any questions, please contact your PSR.
