Our Reach

We’ve partnered with the following dialysis centers to provide companionship and support:

  • Van Buren Dialysis Center (2019–2021)

  • Sacramento Satellite Healthcare (2024–2025)

Our Impact

For six months, Friends of Dialysis piloted a volunteer companionship model to support patients during dialysis treatments.
The results show meaningful reductions in patient isolation and improved emotional well-being.
