Facility Communications with the Network During an Emergency or Disaster
If your facility is not operational or is inaccessible during an emergency, please communicate this to the Network as soon as possible. This improves the ability of the Network to provide current information to assist patients, the renal community, and emergency management personnel. Networks also are authorized to access the www.dialysisunits.com Web site to enter updates to track facility status.
ESRD Network #17 can be reached via telephone at 415-897-2400 and via fax at 415-897-2422. Patients may use our toll-free number 1-800-232-2773. If ESRD Network #17 is affected by the disaster/emergency and is unable to provide assistance, you may contact the Forum of ESRD Networks office at 1-866-901- ESRD (1-866-901-3773) for assistance from another Network.
