Dialysis Care

Your kidneys have the important job of cleansing your body of waste products. When your kidneys are not working properly, you can become sick due to high levels of waste that build up in your body.

Dialysis is a replacement therapy that performs many of the normal duties of your kidneys, including removing waste products. It is done three times a week, and each session lasts several hours.

If you require dialysis, you can trust the specially trained staff at The University of Vermont Medical Center Dialysis Unit at Rutland Regional to provide the therapy you need in a warm, supportive and family-like atmosphere.

The UVM Medical Center Dialysis Unit at Rutland Regional has nine dialysis stations and is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, from 6am to 9pm. For more information on dialysis services, please call 802.747.6239.
