Join us on Thursday, March 23 for our webinar on Taking Care of Your Bones. The webinar is free and open to all. Please register below to be notified when learning session is released. THIS WEBINAR WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SPANISH WITH SLIDES IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH.

Normally delivered monthly, you will need space for around 30 boxes of supplies. Your supply company will help you, but you might need a helper to organize the boxes within your residence. The boxes are pretty heavy and do need to be kept in a dry space.

Adequate clean space to do your exchanges – the room or area you choose shouldn’t have a lot of traffic in or out, shouldn’t have open windows and should if possible have enough room for your other peritoneal dialysis (PD) supplies.
