Promoting safety and access to quality 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 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 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.
