Clinic, Inc. — from the patient care technician who
performs treatments every day, to the members of
the executive board in Nashville, Tennessee. And at Dialysis Clinic,
Inc., a nonprofit dialysis provider in the North Hills with locations
throughout Western Pennsylvania, putting patients before profits has
resulted in lowered mortality rates and fewer hospital stays.
“We’ve had the best mortality and hospitalization rates of any large
dialysis company in the country,” said Patti Fisher, Area Operation
Director, “and we’ve held that title since 2003. Our North Hills location

Associates Group (an independent practice), and we also extend
privileges to many other physician groups including the University of
Pittsburgh Physician Practice.”
