Career Counseling

Dialysis treatment is time-consuming as well as expensive. Many patients wonder if they will be able to continue working after their treatment has begun.

Northwest Kidney Centers' Social Services department assists patients in understanding and managing their ability to continue working while on diaysis. If necessary, our support staff can help patients make career decisions and can help plan for changes or cessation of employment.

For questions or more information about employment and kidney disease, please contact our Social Services department or call 206-292-2771, ext. 2031.

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.
