Promoting Dialysis Options Awareness & Education
Our Mission
To promote awareness of kidney replacement options through education, encouragement and support. While it is not an option for all dialysis patients, we do have a special emphasis on Home Dialysis.
We aim to achieve our mission by telling the stories of those who have faced the challenges of kidney disease, transplant, and kidney replacement therapies. This site is about families and caregivers too. Healthcare treatment choices impact not only the person receiving the treatment but also those who support and care for them.
Why We Care
We believe that individuals faced with kidney failure, in partnership with their care team, should be an active part of an informed healthcare decision-making process. The more information you have, the more productive your dialysis options conversations can be with your health care providers.
This site features general information and stories of those who have experienced dialysis firsthand. As we grow the Shift Dialysis Community, it will feature content from clinical “champions” who advocate for Home Dialysis. Our hope is that by sharing this information we can promote self-advocacy and shift the dialysis conversation to one about all dialysis options.
