Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In 1962, Seattle Artificial Kidney Center opened its doors as the world's first outpatient dialysis organization. Over the years, its name changed, ultimately becoming Northwest Kidney Centers. But its mission stayed constant: to promote the optimal health, quality of life and independence of people with kidney disease. From Miracle to Mainstream: creating the world's first dialysis organization chronicles events leading up to and following that time-from medical experiments to the present, when more than two million people worldwide live with a once-terminal condition. This fascinating journey includes the story of Clyde Shields, a critically ill husband and father, the first patient put on maintenance dialysis.

Blagg spent 27 years as executive director of Northwest Kidney Centers, shaping treatment policies that now are standard worldwide. Kidney dialysis is one of the greatest advances in the history of medicine. This is a story worthy of celebration, even as Northwest Kidney Centers looks to continuing innovations in kidney care.…
