Wheeling Renal Care

Dialysis services are provided to patients admitted to Wheeling Hospital with acute and chronic kidney failure and related conditions. Hemodialysis care is provided by staff from the Wheeling Dialysis Center, a division of Wheeling Renal Care. Peritoneal dialysis treatments are performed by specially trained Wheeling Hospital nursing staff. The full complement of dialysis-related care is available.
Wheeling Renal Care was established in 1997 as a joint venture between Wheeling Hospital and LDK Associates. Creation of this entity allowed for expansion of the programs of Wheeling Dialysis Center, which had been a division of Wheeling Hospital for nearly 20 years.

Wheeling Renal Care currently owns and operates three free-standing outpatient dialysis facilities serving patients from the upper Ohio Valley. In addition to providing outpatient hemodialysis and home peritoneal dialysis training and support for patients with chronic kidney failure, WRC also provides hemodialysis treatments for patients who are hospitalized with kidney failure.

Today, the three WRC-operated dialysis facilities provide regular dialysis services for approximately 180 patients, and dozens of individuals who visit the Wheeling area each year.
