Staying safe in stormy weather

This season can bring changing conditions, including freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and strong winds — all of which may impact travel, power, and daily routines, including dialysis. Here’s how you can prepare, and what to do if you can’t make it to your dialysis appointment due to weather.
