Oakhurst needs dialysis clinic

I’m sure nobody enjoys making the trip to Fresno – especially three days a week for dialysis. Yet there are several of us in Oakhurst and the surrounding mountain areas who are doing just that.

We need a dialysis clinic in Oakhurst – even a small one to accommodate all of the ill and elderly who need the treatment three times a week and would prefer not to make that drive.

DaVita Dialysis Centers of Fresno is thinking about opening a clinic in Oakhurst, as is Fresenius Clinic. We need to write, phone or email them and encourage them to do so – sooner rather than later. The more of us who do this, the better our chances are of getting something we really need in Oakhurst.
