About Us

Dialysis patients in Indiana - and across the country - are rising up to protect their rights.  Today, there are 6,400 people in Indiana on dialysis, and many of their physicians, family members, friends, and caregivers are fighting for the Dialysis Patient's Bill of Rights.

The Kidney Care Council (KCC) is a nonprofit, Washington-based health care trade association of eleven renal care companies that collectively provide End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) services to nearly 80 percent of the dialysis patients in the United States.  The membership includes large, small, nonprofit and for-profit provider companies.  The KCC’s mission is to improve patient care through demonstrable improvements in patient outcomes, patient safety, and quality of life measures.  The KCC is dedicated to improving quality as well as promoting education so that newly diagnosed patients fully understand this disease and how to slow its progression and reduce complications.
