Tennessee is among the three states hit hardest by the kidney disease and, according to the Tennessee Kidney Foundation, more than 8,000 residents currently undergo regular dialysis treatment to stay alive.

“Our partnership marks a significant step forward in the delivery of innovative dialysis and kidney disease education services to the Memphis community,” said Dr. Brad Canada, who serves as Director of Nephrology at University Clinical Health and works in partnership with Dr. Hieu Vo at University Clinical Health Nephrology, who will oversee the new center’s operations as medical director.
