MERCED Calif.—Satellite Healthcare announced March 4 the opening of a new Satellite Dialysis center in Merced, Calif.
The new center adds to Satellite Healthcare’s significant and expanding dialysis services throughout California. The center is equipped with 25 dialysis stations and a peritoneal dialysis area. Peritoneal dialysis therapy allows the patient to perform dialysis at home with the support of the Merced staff.
"As a medical provider and local Nephrologist in this community I am very excited in having Satellite Dialysis opening a new facility in Merced,” said Dr. Daniel Ikemiyashiro, physician partner for Satellite Dialysis of Merced. “It will give my patients more options to choose from and improve their quality of life, and having the experience with this company in other cities and in their process to come to Merced I am very confident that they will not be disappointed."
The center is located at the intersection of N. Highway 39 (Snelling Highway) and Buena Vista at 3376 N. Highway 59, Suite I, Merced, CA 95348. The center is managed by professional nurses, dietitians, social workers and technicians that are trained for CKD patient care.
