On Dec. 6, e Greater Ma-
hopac Carmel and Brewster IN HALSTON
Chamber of Commerce inau-
gurated the cutting-edge dialy-
sis den at Putnam Ridge with a
special ribbon cutting event. e
in-house dialysis service bene ts
the residents by o ering a gen-
tler and more e ective treatment
than traditional dialysis. e ser-
vice also eliminates disruptive
and uncomfortable transporta-
tion. Residents can receive reha-
bilitation services and hemodi-
alysis treatments all in one place.

“ e new dialysis program
re ects Putnam Ridge’s forward
thinking and holistic approach
toward health care and well-be-
ing,” said Shoshana Stein, Put-
nam Ridge’s director of business
development. “We want to better
the quality of life of our residents
and the community at large.”

with Dialyze Direct to o er the
Next Generation model of dialy-
sis equipment in a spacious, com-
fortable and cutting-edge den.
