The Renal Center of Somerville has reopened in the Medical Arts building on Rt. 206. Renal Ventures Management LLC, a leading provider of dialysis services for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, announced today that it has reopened its state-of-the-art outpatient dialysis facility located in Somerville, N.J. The Renal Center of Somerville LLC, which was damaged due to flooding from Hurricane Irene in August 2011, officially began treating patients on March 30, 2012. “With the help of a dedicated construction team and cooperation from local government officials, the $1 million renovation was completed in just six months for a project that would typically take nearly a year,” said Karen Marcus, Divisional Director of Operations East. The renovation cost approximately $1 million. “The re-opening of the Somerville clinic is a momentous occasion for our community. The new clinic represents the pinnacle of renal care in a warm and inviting environment; it is something we are truly proud of. We look forward to welcoming back our patients,” said Dr. Eric Manning, Joint Venture Partner and Medical Director. Renal Ventures Management said over 45 patients have resumed their weekly dialysis treatments. That represents an increase from the number of patients receiving treatment at the clinic prior to the storm. The company credits the strong show of patient support to its qualified staff and history of quality care. “Undergoing dialysis is a life-long commitment for me to maintain my health and well-being,” said Joanne Servino, Renal Center of Somerville LLC patient since 2009. “It can also be physically and emotionally challenging. The people at the Somerville clinic have always eased the burden of dialysis by taking the time to get to know me as a person and not just treating me as another patient. I look forward to getting back to the familiar and friendly faces.” Renal Ventures Management operates 10 outpatient dialysis facilities in New Jersey. The company has developed a reputation as a first choice provider of dialysis services in the area as a result of its industry leading clinical care outcomes and proactive collaboration with its hospital and physician partners. The Renal Center of Somerville LLC provides in-center hemodialysis and home peritoneal dialysis services to its patients. Currently, the facility operates Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. To schedule an appointment or facility tour, contact Digna Gutierrez, the facility’s clinic coordinator, at 908-450-0396.
