A renovation project to expand local access to dialysis is on track to be finished by early summer in Huron, Soth Dakota.
Upon completion, Huron Regional Medical Center dialysis services will relocate to the renovated space, reports the Huron Plainsman.
The $2.45 million project will provide a single-level entrance for dialysis patients, who currently receive treatment in the Central Towers building on the HRMC campus, which requires navigating stairs or a ramp for entry. Dialysis patients receive treatment three times per week, with each session generally lasting three to four hours each.
The renovated center will also provide more local access to the vital service by adding five additional treatment stations, increasing the capacity for HRMC dialysis services to treat 36 patients per week, up from the current capacity of 21 patients per week. Read more.
