Support Groups

KEY Services Program

Education, information and support are important keys to dealing successfully with kidney failure before and after people start dialysis. For this reason, the Northwest Kidney Centers has extensive education services available for those facing kidney failure as well as their loved ones. Family and friends as well as patients can benefit from the education and support we offer.

KEY Services (Kidney Education for You) offers a free and complete program that includes small classes and personal meetings with staff around King County.

KEY Services can be reached by calling 206-292-3090
