Village welcomes renal dialysis facility

Nothing is more important to the Village of Streamwood than ensuring that our residents have access to quality health care to meet their needs.

That is why, on behalf of the village board of trustees, I am so pleased to welcome U.S. Renal Care, a provider of lifesaving dialysis services, to our community. Residents can now rest assured knowing that they have access to a dialysis center close to home right here in Streamwood.

This week, I joined village trustees, community leaders and area patients and physicians to mark the opening of Streamwood’s first and only dialysis facility.

U.S. Renal Care’s state-of-the-art, 13-station dialysis center located at 149 Irving Park Road provides an easily accessible, convenient location. Previously, local residents had to travel miles to reach a dialysis facility that could not be accessed through public transportation.

U.S. Renal Care invested nearly $1.6 million in the facility, which will offer patients access to an experienced team of medical professionals, cutting-edge technology and massage chairs to promote a comfortable and healing environment.

This center will help meet the growing need for dialysis services today and for the future. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention expects (cases of) diabetes, one of the leading causes of kidney failure, to grow by nearly 50 percent by 2025.

The opening of the new U.S. Renal Care facility is a big win for local dialysis patients and important for the overall health of the greater Streamwood community.
