Dr. Adolfo Garcia, a nephrologist with more than 35 years of experience, will oversee medical operations as the Medical Director of the three centers. Garcia joined Satellite Healthcare from DSI, along with a staff of 50. The centers currently serve approximately 250 patients.
“I’m looking forward to working with Satellite to help fulfill its mission of making life better for those living with kidney disease,” said Dr. Garcia. “I am confident that Satellite’s focus on whole-person care, including offering alternatives to traditional dialysis therapy such as nocturnal and home dialysis therapies, will significantly benefit members of the diverse communities we serve here.”
Satellite Healthcare opened its first dialysis center in Texas in 2006. In addition to its new centers in Laredo, it operates facilities and provides renal services in Austin, Houston, Kyle, San Antonio, and Round Rock.
