A new $5 million nephrology and dialysis wing at the Regional Medical Center in Helena is currently under construction, thanks to private donors. The new wing will house ten outpatient hemodialysis stations equipped with state-of-the-art technology for patients with end-stage kidney failure. Additionally, there will be two home therapy rooms designed to help patients who prefer to dialyze at home, especially beneficial for individuals living in rural areas where traveling to Helena can be challenging.
Dick Anderson Construction is overseeing the project, and construction is expected to be finished by early 2025. This much-needed facility will provide advanced medical treatment and education and support for patients seeking to manage their condition in the comfort of their own home.
The addition of the new nephrology and dialysis wing is a significant step forward for St. Peter’s Health in Helena. It will not only improve the quality of care for patients but also provide more convenient access to dialysis services for those in need. With the new wing’s completion, patients can receive advanced medical treatment without having to travel long distances or spend extended periods away from their families and communities.
The project’s success is a testament to the power of community partnerships and private donations in bringing much-needed healthcare facilities to underserved areas. With this new addition, St. Peter’s Health continues its commitment to providing exceptional care and support for its patients.
Overall, this project highlights the importance of investing in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural areas where access to specialized medical care can be limited. The new nephrology and dialysis wing at St. Peter’s Health will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the lives of many patients and their families, providing hope and healing where it’s needed most.
