Dialysis Center
Holy Cross Hospital’s dialysis services consist
of four departments: chronic outpatient hemodialysis, acute hemodialysis
and peritoneal dialysis, which are located at the hospital, and the off-site
Holy Cross Dialysis Chronic Hemodialysis Center at Woodmore. Its mission
is to provide dialytic therapy to patients with acute renal failure or
end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
The Holy Cross Hospital Chronic Outpatient
Hemodialysis unit has 14 patient stations with a patient capacity of
84 patients and provides more than 12,000 treatments annually. The unit
is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The acute hemodialysis
unit consists of four patient stations in the dialysis unit. Equipment
is available for staff to dialyze patients throughout the facility,
such as intensive care units and medical surgical floors. The acute
unit provides an average of 225 to 250 treatments per month.
The peritoneal
dialysis unit trains patients in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and offers
follow-up for patients utilizing these therapies. Currently there are
more than 40 patients in the program, making it one of the top 10 in
the state.
The Chronic Outpatient Hemodialysis Center at Woodmore
in Mitchellville, Md., opened in June 2003. The unit currently operates
Monday through Saturday. The unit consists of 15 outpatient hemodialysis
stations, with a patient capacity of 90 patients. Kaiser Permanente and
Holy Cross Hospital are working closely together to provide care for their
ESRD patients at this facility.
Over the last several years, the dialysis
department has continued to grow. We continue to have a waiting list
of patients from other centers who wish to be dialyzed at Holy Cross
Hospital. Patients come here from out of state to visit friends and family,
and utilize our services on a transient basis. Many of these patients
return to our facility year after year.
Our outcomes for adequacy and
anemia have consistently demonstrated quality care. The unit continually
strives to improve its quality indicators so that patient’s outcomes are successful.
The success of the dialysis
program at Holy Cross is a direct reflection of our staff. The dialysis
unit staff consists of a multidisciplinary team of registered nurses,
licensed practical nurses, patient care technicians, social workers,
dietitians and unit secretaries. The staff works together to ensure patients
receive the best care possible. What makes this dialysis unit so special
to patients are the people. Patients want to come here for their dialytic
needs because our well-trained, compassionate and caring staff will take
them care of. The staff truly embodies the mission of the hospital.
