Transportation Assistance Provided by the
Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio
The Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio offers patients transportation assistance to and from dialysis. Kidney disease presents many challenges to patients including diet restrictions, strict medication regimens, and dialysis treatments which requires sessions at least three times a week.
The goal of the transportation assistance program is to allow patients to maintain their independence while dealing with many of the other demanding aspects of kidney disease. In 2011 the Kidney Foundation provided mileage reimbursement that was equivalent to traveling around the world almost 8 times!
