Northwest Kidney Centers is a regional, not-for-profit community-based provider of kidney dialysis, public health education, and research into the causes and treatments of chronic kidney disease. Established in Seattle in 1962, it was the world's first out-of-hospital dialysis provider.[2] It offers dialysis throughout the greater Seattle area in 20 free-standing clinics, eight hospitals and its home dialysis program.[3] It opened its first clinic in Everett in 2020, the organization's first in Snohomish county.[4]
Nearly 80 percent of people on dialysis in King County go to Northwest Kidney Centers for their treatment.[2] The organization's 727-member staff provided 284,511 treatments in 2019, about a quarter of all dialysis treatments in the state.[5] Northwest Kidney Centers operates the oldest home dialysis program in the United States, currently training 275 people to give themselves dialysis at home.[6]
Northwest Kidney Centers’ model of providing dialysis outside of a hospital setting has spread throughout the world. According to a United States Renal Data System 2013 report, there are 6,009 outpatient dialysis clinics in the United States.[7]
Compared to national averages, Northwest Kidney Centers patients live longer,[8] have fewer complications,[8] spend less time in the hospital[9] and receive more kidney transplants.[8]
