Interior Health, in partnership with the BC Renal Agency (BCRA), announced March 13 that the Williams Lake Community Dialysis Unit has expanded to meet anticipated future need among Cariboo residents requiring hemodialysis. The community dialysis unit, located on the first floor of Cariboo Memorial Hospital, recently added a sixth dialysis station, providing enhanced patient access to this lifesaving measure for those whose renal needs can be met in a community dialysis setting. Funded by the BCRA and operated by Interior Health (IH), the Williams Lake Community Dialysis Unit incorporates an involved care, patient self-management model. By focusing on education, the care providers work to empower patients to become as independent as they are able to be. Patients are encouraged to set their own goals, learn new skills and gain control over their health. Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste and unwanted water from the blood – a function normally carried out by the kidneys. When kidneys do not function properly, patients may need dialysis. Those on hemodialysis have this treatment three times a week at the Williams Lake unit. The BCRA contributed $25,000 to the community dialysis unit expansion, which included a renovation and facility upgrade, as well as equipment purchase and installation. IH also reallocated a dialysis unit from Kamloops to the Williams Lake unit. The community dialysis unit currently serves 10 patients per day on five hemodialysis stations. Recognizing that renal patients are at all stages of kidney function, this expansion of a sixth station allows IH to be ready when future demand requires additional service capacity.
