The MetroHealth System is announcing the opening of a new dialysis center at 3280 West 25th Street, across from its main campus. The opening marks one of the first examples of the health system’s commitment to the revitalization of West 25th Street and the surrounding neighborhoods as part of its campus transformation.

The 9,800-square-foot center, the Ohio Renal Care Group at Farnsworth, will be able to treat up to 200 kidney patients a week. It is a partnership among MetroHealth, Cleveland Clinic and Fresenius Kidney Care. The open, modern facility has treatment rooms that offer Wi-Fi and heated massage chairs. The center strives to empower people to live the healthiest, fullest way possible – with kidney disease treatments that fit in with life. It will focus on giving patients the ability to individualize their care, by catering to their physical and emotional needs as they endure treatment.

MetroHealth’s Dr. Marcia Silver will serve as medical director of the facility.
