The new dialysis unit

The new dialysis unit at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center boasts cutting-edge technology, three dialysis chairs and one isolation chair. The hospital partnered with Sanderling Healthcare to bring dialysis care to Chaffee County patients.

Posted: Saturday, June 20, 2015 6:00 am

“We just figured out that one patient in the area, who has been driving to Cañon City for 11 years, has actually spent one entire year of his life driving to dialysis,” said Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center nephrologist and hospitalist Dr. David Kanar.

The hospital celebrated the addition of a dialysis unit, a third operating room in the surgical services suite and the new locally based EagleMed air ambulance service by hosting an open house Saturday.
