Olympic Peninsula Kidney Centers: Providing Comprehensive Care for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Olympic Peninsula Kidney Centers (OPKC) is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the people of Washington state since 1981. The organization is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and helping them lead a better quality of life. With multiple locations across the Olympic Peninsula, OPKC offers dialysis treatment, patient education, and other support services to CKD patients.
At OPKC, we understand that living with CKD can be challenging for both patients and their families. That's why we strive to provide personalized care that meets each patient's unique needs. Our team of experienced nephrologists, nurses, dietitians, social workers, and other healthcare professionals work together to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.
Our Dialysis Services
OPKC provides in-center hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), home hemodialysis (HHD), and nocturnal hemodialysis (NHD) services. We have state-of-the-art facilities equipped with modern technology and equipment to ensure safe and effective treatment for our patients.
In-center Hemodialysis: This is the most common type of dialysis treatment where blood is filtered outside the body using a machine called a dialyzer. Patients typically receive HD three times a week at one of our clinics.
Peritoneal Dialysis: This type of dialysis involves using the lining of the abdomen as a filter instead of an external machine. PD can be done at home or work during daily activities or while sleeping at night.
Home Hemodialysis: HHD allows patients to perform their own HD treatments in their homes under medical supervision from our team members.
Nocturnal Hemodialysis: NHD involves performing HD treatments overnight while sleeping which allows more frequent treatments than traditional in-center HD.
Patient Education and Support Services
At OPKC, we believe that patient education is an essential part of CKD treatment. We offer a range of educational programs to help our patients understand their condition, treatment options, and how to manage their symptoms. Our team provides one-on-one counseling sessions with patients and their families to address any concerns they may have.
We also offer support services such as transportation assistance, financial counseling, social work services, and nutritional counseling. These services are designed to help our patients overcome the challenges associated with CKD and improve their quality of life.
Locations
OPKC has multiple locations across the Olympic Peninsula including Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks, Port Townsend & Silverdale. Each location is staffed by experienced healthcare professionals who are dedicated to providing high-quality care to our patients.
