safety and access to care
NWKC Joins Advocates to Protect Medicaid Reimbursement Rates
Kidney dialysis is life-sustaining treatment for more than 16,000 Washingtonians. Yet a recent decision by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to cut Medicaid reimbursement rates for kidney dialysis providers by 30% put statewide access to that care in jeopardy.
Thank You Kidney Dialysis Technicians
Kidney dialysis technicians are essential to every successful treatment, ensuring that patients with kidney disease receive safe, effective care week-in, week-out. This National Dialysis Technician Recognition Week, celebrated from October 14–19, we honor the dedication and expertise of these vital healthcare professionals.
Closing the Kidney Care Gap in Hispanic and Latino Communities
National Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated September 15 to October 15, is a time to celebrate the cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. It’s also an opportunity to highlight the disproportionate impact of kidney disease on these communities and the essential role kidney dialysis providers play in delivering life-sustaining care.
Our Partners
We can't do this work alone. The Northwest Kidney Council is grateful to have so many partners throughout the Pacific Northwest aligned with our mission to advance access to kidney care.
