We all know that special someone who goes above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. Within the dialysis community especially, heroes are all around us.
That’s why Dialysis Patient Citizens (DPC) is launching a campaign to tell the many heartwarming stories about patients, their families and caregivers, and others in the community.
Who is a DPC Hero?
A DPC hero is anyone who is making a difference and helping others within the dialysis community. A hero can be a nurse or technician who goes the extra mile for patients; a local volunteer; a patient who is beating the odds; or a family member who is a constant cheerleader. DPC is counting on you to capture the good works you see every day, and identify the heroes among us.
