Every treatment needs a way into the bloodstream. A fistula is a connection made surgically in the arm. A catheter is a tube placed in a large vein. Fistulas last longer and get infected less, so they are generally preferred where a patient's veins allow one.

No. Medicare's records show no home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis training here. Other clinics nearby may offer it, and training does not usually mean leaving your current clinic permanently.
Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.
12 stations, meaning up to 12 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.
No. Medicare did not have enough data to calculate a star rating here. That is a gap in what was published, not a finding about the care given. 491 of the 7,490 US clinics are in the same position.
It is a for-profit facility operated by DaVita, Medicare-certified since 2024.
By calling. Chair availability, insurance acceptance and wait times are not published by Medicare, or by anyone else, for any clinic in the country. That is why the phone number is at the top of this page.
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.

Based on 21 patients.
These two do not add up to 100%. Some patients use a graft or another form of access. Access type depends on a patient's own veins, whether earlier attempts held, how soon surgery was available, and what the patient chose.
A ratio below 1 means fewer infections than Medicare expected for this clinic's patients. The published range is wide enough here to include the national expectation, which is why Medicare rates it as expected.
This facility is one of 263 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 291. Based on 20 patients.
Listing depends on a patient's own health, what the regional transplant centre requires, and the patient's own choice — not on the clinic alone.
These are adjusted for how sick a clinic's patients are. For a clinic this size the published ranges are usually wide enough that the figure cannot be told apart from the national expectation.
