We are sorry to have to announce that after almost 30 years in the Columbus community, on November 15, 2024, the Dialysis Center of Columbus will provide its last outpatient dialysis treatments. The Columbus operations will be consolidated with our Lincoln facilities to ensure the continued provision of high-quality care to the patients we serve.
This decision was difficult. Over the past six years, the Dialysis Center of Columbus has faced increasing financial challenges due to rising costs and reimbursement rates that have not kept pace with these expenses. Despite our best efforts to reduce costs without sacrificing quality of care, we have reached a point where it is no longer feasible or sustainable to continue our operations in Columbus.
We understand the impact this closure will have on our patients, staff, their families, and the Columbus community. Our team is working diligently to ensure that all patients are transferred to our Lincoln facilities or to other dialysis providers with as little disruption as possible.
It has been an honor to serve the Columbus community over the past 27 years. We are proud of the care our staff has provided, and we are deeply grateful for the trust and support of our patients and staff, their families, and of the Columbus community.
Please contact us at 402-489-5339 or info@dclinc.org with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Scott Butterfield, CEO
