Patient Stories: Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

PD Profile: Elden Goe

One spring evening about sunset, PD user Elden Goe popped a swing-dance CD in the ’68 Chevy he’s restoring, cranked the volume and enjoyed a spontaneous Lindy Hop with his wife, Elizabeth. That’s what PD is all about for Elden — time to do the things he loves with the people he loves.

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.
