Tickets are now available to purchase for DPC Education Center’s Inaugural Gala on March 11, 2014.
This year, we are extremely excited to honor a health care professional with the “Willem J. Kolff Award for Innovation and Patient Care.” Dr. Kolff was honored at DPC’s Gala in 2006 for inventing the dialysis machine. As a result, we decided to name this award after him, and are excited that his son will be attending to present the award.
In addition to the health care proffesional, a dialysis patient will also be recognized for his continued work to educate patients and assist with low-income housing efforts.
These honorees were chosen by a committee from nominations submitted by dialysis patients, friends, family members and health care professionals from around the country. We received over 50 nominations for each category. All of the applications were exceptional.From support groups, to volunteering, to actively engaging other patients in their clinics to learn about their treatment and disease; dialysis patients are not being constrained by their condition. We also received a variety of submissions for health care professionals, social workers, nephrologists and renal dieticians were among the nominees; all committed to advancing patient quality of care.
The night will truly be one to remember and shouldn’t be missed!
