KaShawna Foster’s co-workers no longer do double takes when they see her dialysis equipment in the office. She takes it wherever she goes.
KaShawna likes the flexibility of her therapy. KaShawna Foster chose peritoneal dialysis because she’s a woman on the go
and PD doesn’t slow her down. She takes along supplies and gives herself therapy in her office at Microsoft, at friends’ homes, in the car –
even at Safeco Field or on Mount Rainier.
Northwest Kidney Centers keeps people in the Seattle area alive with dialysis care, educates
the public about kidney health, and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research
Institute. We are one of very few community-based, nonprofit dialysis providers in the country.
Founded in 1962, ours was the first out-of-hospital dialysis program in the world and it is still
a model in the field today. Our mission remains critical. One in seven American adults now has
chronic kidney disease, up 30 percent in the last decade.
