This may have already been posted here but I'm new and didn't see anything on it.  So, I used this site to find kidney centers in Eastern WA, ID, ND and MT.  My friend Hettie, used it to find centers in Europe when she traveled last year.  She told me abt it!  They have info there too, but I've only used it to find centers!

Hi Krisna,

I used Globaldialysis too back when I was traveling on dialysis.  It sure is a great alternative to the magazine style books that dialysis centers used to pass out to patients who were planning a trip.  I found a number of good units through the site and had some good trips as a result.  Russ England and his late wife have provided a great service to the renal community for many years now through their site.

Epoman was a moderator there but didn't see too much of him once he got busy here. I've posted trip reports to the blog there.
