Dialysis at home also provides for greater flexibility in one\u2019s daily schedule and avoids the need for travel to a dialysis center. Some patients will perform dialysis entirely on their own, and some with the help of a family member.<\/p>\n<h3>Why the Home Dialysis Clinic at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital?<\/h3>\n<p>Our Home Dialysis Clinic at UCH provides comprehensive care for our home dialysis patients. \u00a0Our team is made up of experienced physicians, nurses, a dietitian and social worker. As a group, we work together with the patient and family to create a home dialysis plan that works for the patient\u2019s lifestyle. We strive to help you live a life that is not limited, but thriving. Our team is passionate about your emotional, medical and dietary needs.<\/p>\n<p>Our clinic staff is highly experienced with these treatment options, and our nursing team has 48 years of combined dialysis experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2356,"featured_media":7585,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2095","uch_location","type-uch_location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location\/2095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uch_location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
