Dialysis Patients Seeking Donated Books
DaVita Dialysis provides dialysis for both in-clinic patients who spend anywhere from 9-12 hours per week at the clinic receiving treatment and peritoneal dialysis for patients who treat at home.
With their patients spending so much time at their clinic, they strive to make it as comfortable and as welcoming of an environment as possible. They decorate the clinic for the various seasons and have started a library for the patients.
In a short period of time, the patients started letting them know they had read through all the books on the shelves so they are reaching out to the community for donations to help keep books coming for their amazing patients.
If anyone would like to donate books they can drop them off at the clinic at 111 S. Campbell Station Road, or email Ashley Roche at [email protected] and she will arrange to meet and pick up any donations.
