Happy New Year!

 

Thank you all for working with us this year.  This will be our LAST weekly update e-mail, we will be switching to a monthly e-Newsletter in 2015.  Also in 2015, the Network will have TWO Vascular Access Projects and we will be developing and sharing interventions to assist you in promoting fistula placement and reducing long term catheter rates.

  

Please see our Vascular Access Website for resources for working with your patients to encourage obtaining the best possible dialysis access.
