Seattle at the forefront

Joyce Jackson, CEO and president, spoke to the Seattle Rotary Club on the city's place at the forefront of kidney research.

A special honor

U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott introduced a resolution recognizing Northwest Kidney Centers’ 50th anniversary and our many accomplishments.

Northwest Kidney Centers keeps people in the Seattle area alive with dialysis care, educates the public about kidney health, and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research Institute. We are one of very few community-based, nonprofit dialysis providers in the country. Founded in 1962, ours was the first out-of-hospital dialysis program in the world and it is still a model in the field.
