Posted: Wednesday, June 3, 2015 6:49 am DANVILLE — Despite opposition, a second dialysis center will be coming to the city. The anticipated project complete date is April 30, 2017. The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board in Normal unanimously approved Tuesday, by an 8-0 vote and with one board member absent, the plans for Vermilion County Dialysis. Vermilion County Dialysis, an eight-station End State Renal Dialysis facility, will locate on 4,790 square feet of space at 22 W. Newell Road in Danville. The new building is planned on a Danville Crossings area lot consisting of a little more than 1 acre. This will be a second dialysis center for the community. Danville Dialysis Services is located on Clay Street near Presence United Samaritans Medical Center. The $3 million project’s applicants to the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board was DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc., Total Renal Care Inc. and Genesis KC Development, LLC. “DaVita is pleased that the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board unanimously approved our certificate of need to build a dialysis center in Danville,” according to an emailed statement from Justin Forbis, a communications contact with DaVita. “This center opens additional access to care so that patients ultimately have a choice on where they receive their thrice-weekly dialysis care. DaVita welcomes all patients at its centers, including veterans,” according to the statement. “DaVita has 75 percent (three out of four centers) of the four-and-five-star centers within a 75-mile radius of Danville and by opening this new center, we are expanding the reach of our highly-rated patient care,” according to Forbis. “Through the transparency created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Five-Star rating system, patients can choose their dialysis center based not only on proximity, but patient-care quality as well.” DaVita had to prove the need for the facility in the community, through an application for a certificate of need for the project. The application for the facility stated that there is sufficient patient population to justify the need for the facility. The facility also will serve DaVita’s Danville home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients requiring an in-center treatment. DaVita has grown its Danville home program to 24 patients. Those in opposition, including state Rep. Chad Hays, R-Catlin, stated through letters and at a public hearing that Danville Dialysis Services has room for additional patients and a new facility in the city isn’t needed. The new facility also could put Danville Dialysis Services out of business, according to those in opposition to the second center. Danville Dialysis Center has been locally owned and operated by Dr. Brijnandan Sodhi for 13 years.
