General Info

The Dialysis Access Institute (DAI) was established at Regional Medical Center in March 2011 to serve patients with end-stage renal disease for whom access to the bloodstream needs to be established or has been compromised. The DAI team performs more than 3,700 procedures/operations each year, and physicians from throughout the world visit RMC to be trained in these procedures. The DAI is accredited by the American Society of Diagnostic & Interventional Nephrology as a hemodialysis vascular access training center. This is the only fulltime, dedicated access center in existence.
