Talk Kidney to Me 6 - The State of Dialysis

Talk Kidney to Me

Dr. Janice Lea, Medical Director at Emory University Dialysis, joins Sara Eve and Pesh to share her insights on the past, present, and future of dialysis. We'll discuss the unique relationship between the public and private sectors dating back to 1972 when Medicare coverage was expanded to all individuals with ESRD right up to the Advancing American Kidney Health Executive Order of 2019. Keeping it real, we'll then take it to the individual level with Pesh's own story of once crashing into dialysis and not wanting to go back-- and how a nephrologist like Dr. Lea might address this ambivalence. With career-long dedication to dialysis and health equity, Dr. Lea is an inspiring nephrologist balancing intellect and heart. You won't want to miss this one!
