Dialysis Management Clinics (DMC) was the first community dialysis facility in Ontario, founded in 1982 by Igal and Carol Holtzer, as well as the late Franca Tantalo. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our History<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Over 40 years ago, a small dialysis unit opened its doors to help dialysis patients travel to and from Toronto. This was Ontario\u2019s first out-of-hospital community dialysis facility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small unit was able to demonstrate that safe and high-quality dialysis could be provided in an out-of-hospital setting. In 1993, DMC\u2019s community dialysis model became the blueprint for provincially licensed dialysis centres. Within three short years, DMC was awarded approval to operate publicly funded dialysis facilities for residents living in and around Markham, Pickering, and Peterborough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, all three DMC sites have grown to respond to the needs of their respective communities and referring partner hospital programs. Although each facility is funded to support Ontario insured (OHIP) patients only, in respect to the founders\u2019 original vision, DMC continues to support a dialysis patient\u2019s ability to travel by working to provide access to short term dialysis stays at their sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
