CHRIS SCHWAB AND DEBORAH HAYS.
They have been successful in making laws in Colorado. They have paved the way for other states to do the same.

Also, a recent Fresenius termination, and we need to get back to the issues on what is being allowed to happen in this industry, as CMS continues to allow patients to be terminated.It appears that we are seeing a connection with terminating, false documentation (character assassinations) if you listen to past shows, even on our website.

Dialysis Advocates is grateful for the opportunity to get this important message out for all Dialysis Patients.

We will be having a guest on the first part of every show. Then we will open the Microphones for the Town Hall. Patients and others will be able to discuss concerns and solutions. It will be a patient group, including families.
