Mandy Hale, Chief Nursing Officer for DaVita Kidney Care is our second guest today she discusses Preparing Kidney Patients for Hurricanes amidst COVID-19Pandemic. 2020 Hurricane Season could impact treatment for thousands of kidney patients, who rely on dialysis 3x a week to sustain life. The average patient with end stage kidney disease receives life-sustaining dialysis treatment three times a week. Missing just one treatment can greatly affect their health and weaken their immune system. In fact, missing just one dialysis treatment may increase a person’s risk of hospitalization by 40% and double a patient’s risk of death. For this reason, providing our patients with a continuity of care is a top priority. In the event of an evacuation, patients should contact DaVita Guest Services at 1-800-400-8331 to schedule treatment at an alternate facility. For more information on emergency preparedness, visit davita.com/emergencypreparedness
