New Dialysis Centers Open In the Wayne County Area

 The first dialysis center in Wayne county has recently opened its doors in Newark, NY. This is a a wonderful thing for Wayne county.  The center, opened through the Rochester General Health System will fill a gap for those in Wayne county who had to travel to Monroe county for their dialysis services.  The new center includes 14 dialysis stations and is said to be state of the art, including heated chairs, personal televisions, and WiFi. I think this is a step forward for Wayne county medicine. Wayne county is a large county that includes extremely rural towns, quaint historical villages, and even a small "city" or two.  However, it is like many rural areas in the U.S. in that many residents must drive to neighboring counties for the medical services they require.  Therefore, I see this new center as not just good for the patients who require dialysis, but as a push for more services in rural areas.  Hopefully, this is the way of the future and under-served areas will continue to gain facilities and opportunities such as this.
