Plaza Healthcare through its partnership with DaVita, offers a wide range of dialysis services to meet the needs of all care requirements for our patients. DaVita is a nationally recognized leader in the dialysis industry, who cares for over 225,000 patients nationwide including over 25,000 in centers such as Plaza Healthcare.

A continuum of care is paramount in delivering quality care which is why the three largest Nephrology groups utilize Plaza Healthcare for their patients. Southwest Kidney, AKDHC, and Desert Kidney all maintain privileges and round at least weekly on their patients.

In addition, Plaza Healthcare has a dedicated Dialysis Nurse who communicates daily with the Nephrologists and/or Dr. Gupta regarding resident care needs. The Dialysis Nurse also monitors patient lab results, coordinates transfusions and rounds with each Nephrologist when they come to Plaza Healthcare.

Trusted for more than 30 years, our team has provided exceptional healthcare services to patients throughout Phoenix and surrounding communities, including Glendale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, and Scottsdale.

Plaza Healthcare’s expertise extends to patients who have the following;

• Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD, Stages 1-5)
• End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
• Renal insufficiency
• Renal Transplant
• Kidney Cancer

Hemodialysis

Plaza Healthcare has a 5-bed den located on the second floor. Typically, services are offered Monday through Saturday, with two sessions offered per day. Plaza Healthcare can also accommodate bedside hemodialysis for anyone who requires isolation. The highly trained DaVita staff use state-of-the-art equipment.

Diet

Patients with compromised kidney function must adhere to a renal diet to cut down on the amount of waste in their blood. At Plaza Healthcare, the Dietary Services Department recognizes the importance of monitoring a person’s intake of sodium, phosphorus, potassium, protein and fluids. The Dietary Services Department has developed a standard renal diet for dialysis patients. Every person’s body is different, and therefore Plaza’s Registered Dietician will adjust the standard diet to tailor it specifically to each patient’s need. In addition, the renal diet is available in every consistency from regular, to puree, to those requiring nutrition via gastrostomy tube (G-tube).

Plaza Healthcare is proud to work closely with the National Kidney Foundation of Arizona and is honored to be a sponsor of the NKF Konica Minolta Golf Classic, Kidney Walk, and Camp Kidney. Check out the azkidney.org website for these events and plenty of other resources and opportunities to help.
