Did you miss “Voices of Dialysis: Protecting Access to Care?”

On Aug. 13, I joined other members of the kidney care community for Voices of Dialysis: Protecting Access to Care—a Google+ Hangout discussing the government’s proposed funding cut for dialysis care. In this interactive video chat, the other speakers and I shared our concerns about the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to cut dialysis funding by 9.4 percent and elaborated on the potential impact for hundreds of thousands of Americans who rely on dialysis for life-saving treatments.

In case you missed the live Google+ Hangout, watch the complete 45-minute recap of Voices of Dialysis: Protecting Access to Care.
