The nation's largest not-for-profit dialysis provider operating under the mission, "The care of the patient is our reason for existence." The primary responsibility of DCI is to perceive, initiate, and provide comprehensive patient care. We serve society by providing care for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease. Our goal is complete patient rehabilitation. We recognize the patient as an individual resulting from his or her genetics, life experience, habits, beliefs, and emotions and as a member of his or her family and the community. The patient deserves the highest standard of care possible regardless of race, status, or creed. The application of comprehensive care is on a personal level. We become acquainted with our patient as a person and seek to understand his or her problems and needs -- physical, emotional, spiritual, and social. DCI began serving people with kidney failure in 1971. DCI proudly gives back to society through research and education because we believe people with kidney disease should be able to live the best life possible. We provide options- home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and in-center hemodialysis- as well as encouragement for transplantation.
