New, larger dialysis and kidney care centre opens inside Chinook Regional Hospital

A newly expanded dialysis program at Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, will bring with it, overnight care, only one of two models currently in Southern Alberta. 

Alberta Kidney Care CEO Scott Hollland says, right now, Calgary is the only place that has something called ‘nocturnal dialysis.’

“That allows people to spend the night here and dialyze overnight, rather than coming in during the day for a four-hour treatment,” Holland explains.

“That way they can carry on…work, and live out their lives.”
