Dialysis at National Convention
by Ed Bryant
During this
year's annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Atlanta,
Saturday, June 30 to Friday, July 6, dialysis will be available. Individuals
requiring dialysis must have a transient patient packet and physician's statement
filled out prior to treatment. Conventioneers must have their unit contact the
desired location in the Atlanta area for instructions well in advance. The convention
headquarters will be in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, 265 Peachtree Center Avenue,
Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
You can find
dialysis units and how to reach them by going to <www.dialysisfinder.com>.
Greater Atlanta has many centers, but the area is quite large, so early reservation
is strongly recommended. Here are some dialysis locations. All of these are
less then one mile from the headquarters hotel:
