Dialysis center under construction
People in need of treatment for kidney disease won’t have to drive to Rochester or Portland BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Local residents in need of treatment for kidney disease will soon have a local facility for their use, instead of having to drive to such locales as Rochester or Portland upwards of 50 miles away. The planning board granted conditional
approval for a dialysis center off Poliquin Drive in Conway in May. Construction began the last week in November. Lynne M. Bamford, director of operations for Massachusetts and New Hampshire for Fresenius Medical Care of Portsmouth, said construction for the 5,400-square-foot center is expected to be done by April, with certification by the Center for Medicaid Services and
the state Department of Health and Human Services to follow. “We anticipate to open by late May or June. We will open with 12 patients,” said Bamford Dec. 1. The Conway clinic will be her company's ninth dialysis center in New Hampshire, and see DIALYSIS page 9
