    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Public Health Policy
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Limited hemodialysis access in Manitoba prior to the 1980s necessitated patient relocation.
    • Two Winnipeg hospitals were the sole providers for chronic renal failure patients.
    • The need for decentralized dialysis services was identified.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and evolution of an outreach hemodialysis program in Manitoba.
    • To highlight the establishment of the Manitoba Local Centre Dialysis Program.
    • To assess the impact of the program on patient access and family reunification.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposal by the Manitoba Renal Failure Advisory Committee.
    • Development and implementation under the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg.
    • Expansion of services to seven additional health care centers.

    Main Results:

    • Successful establishment of the Manitoba Local Centre Dialysis Program.
    • Increased availability of hemodialysis services throughout Manitoba and northwestern Ontario.
    • Reunification of families previously separated by up to 500 miles.

    Conclusions:

    • The outreach hemodialysis program significantly improved access to care for renal failure patients.
    • The program facilitated family reunification, reducing the burden of relocation.
    • Programmatic creativity was key to the success of this unique healthcare initiative.
