MIAMI , FLA. July 7, 2011 – Physicians Dialysis, Florida’s largest independent dialysis provider, recently received a contract to provide dialysis services to South Carolina inmates with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The contract, awarded by the South Carolina Department of Corrections, requires Physicians Dialysis to administer treatments for the on-site clinic at the Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, S.C.
“Delivering dialysis in a correctional environment has its own complex set of challenges, but we have more than 15 years of experience working in prison settings,” said the company’s president Allan I. Jacob, M.D. “Our team uses that experience daily to administer life-sustaining treatments to almost 40 patients at Broad River.”
For more than 20 years, Physicians Dialysis has been delivering comprehensive, worry-free dialysis solutions in a number of environments – including its clinics, patients’ homes, correctional institutions, hospitals, and long term care facilities. The company, headquartered in North Miami Beach, Fla., provides more than 50,000 treatments a year.
