Quality

Federal Quality Reports

Each year, the federal government reports on the quality of treatment dialysis centers across the country. Reports rate our individual dialysis units and compares them to the national level. In addition to the individual reports provided by the federal government, we have summarized them to get a picture of how we compare as a whole to the national average.

Patient Satisfaction Survey

In 2010, Northwest Kidney Centers surveyed our patients. The response rate was 62 percent, with 1,390 dialysis patients completing the survey in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.

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.
