Treatment Options
Verify the center offers your preferred modality — in-center hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis training, or nocturnal dialysis for overnight treatment.
Infection Control
Review bloodstream infection rates and vascular access quality metrics. Lower infection rates indicate better hygiene practices and patient safety protocols.
