Dialysis caught in limbo - Mountain Mail Newspaper PDF Print

Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center’s new dialysis clinic is caught in limbo. The clinic has been installed, but patients must wait for state inspectors to survey the unit before it can be up and running.

The closest dialysis clinic is in Cañon City, and patients typically must travel out of town three times a week for treatment.
