Yes. This clinic trains patients for peritoneal dialysis. Training is a series of visits rather than a permanent move, and your nephrologist has to agree it suits you.

26 stations, meaning up to 26 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.
Yes. Medicare places this clinic in the middle 41% of US clinics. That is a position in a national distribution, not a score it passed or failed — most clinics sit in the middle band by design.
It is a nonprofit facility operated by Dialysis Clinic, Inc., Medicare-certified since 1997.

Every measure Medicare publishes about a dialysis facility, grouped in Medicare's nine categories and numbered for citation. Nothing here is selected. Where this clinic has no figure, the cell carries a dash and Medicare's code, and the codes are explained below the table.
