Jesus’ Story
Jesus is one of more than 70,000 Californians with kidney failure who must receive dialysis three days a week, three to four hours at a time, to stay alive.
During dialysis, he is connected to a machine that does the job of his kidneys by removing toxins and fluids from his body.
In California, dialysis patient care quality exceeds the national average according to data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) which regulates dialysis clinics nationwide.
Dialysis patients in California also report being more satisfied with their dialysis clinic patient experience, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
