Enumclaw Kidney Center Hosts Open House

The facility currently is equipped to serve 30 patients, with room to expand if the Washington State Department of Health determines there is a need in the future.

The Northwest Kidney Centers in Enumclaw held an open house on Thursday, May 30. 

More than 120 people attended the event at the long-vacant former U.S. Forest Service building at 857 Roosevelt Ave. E. in Enumclaw. 

The facility currently is equipped to serve 30 patients, with room to expand if the Washington State Department of Health determines there is a need in the future. 

Patients come to the dialysis center three times a week for four-hour treatments that keep them alive in spite of chronic kidney failure. 

This is the 15th dialysis clinic operated by Northwest Kidney Centers, founded in Seattle in 1962 as the first out-of-hospital dialysis organization in the world. 

The nonprofit provides 80 percent of dialysis treatments in King County.
