Dialysis
New Britain General campus: (860) 224-5195
The Hospital of Central Connecticut's outpatient Dialysis Unit is staffed by nephrologists, nurses, a dietitian, social worker and other healthcare professionals. The hospital also provides services to patients who are on peritoneal dialysis at home or in an extended-care facility.
In addition to dialysis, the unit offers plasmapheresis, a specialized procedure that lowers the amount of plasma in the blood to treat blood disorders.
| Along with medical care, the hospital's Dialysis Unit provides support services, including an individualized patient education program and a renal patient support group. A community-wide pre-dialysis education program gives patients and their family members peace of mind before they begin treatment.
