DPC is a nationwide non-profit organization of more than 28,000 dialysis and pre-dialysis patients and family members joined together to help improve kidney patients’ quality of life.  We provide information about dialysis, help strengthen the partnership between patients and caregivers, tell lawmakers about the issues that matter to patients and provide a strong community for our members.

We offer special programs for friends of dialysis patients and for care providers. All membership types are free. To learn more about each membership type, see which membership you should apply for below.
