It is with a heavy heart that DPC and the DPC Education Center Board, staff, and volunteers learned of the passing of one of our Board members, Arthur Hill. Arthur worked as a distressed assets consultant for nearly 30 years before being diagnosed with kidney failure. From that point on, he applied his sharp analytical skills to exploring how advances in technology could be leveraged to help kidney patients and dedicated his time to patient advocacy.
Arthur was instrumental in passing Indiana Senate Bill 215 (Public Law 28-2024), landmark legislation that reduced monthly Medigap premiums for dialysis patients under 65. He was proud to create tangible changes in the lives of countless Americans with kidney disease and continued to tirelessly advocate on behalf of patients nationwide.
As a member of the Board of Directors, Arthur was passionate about advancing both DPC’s and the DPC Education Center’s missions, while helping others navigate the often-confusing world of healthcare with confidence and dignity. We are incredibly grateful for his many years of service and commitment to improving the lives of kidney patients. His dedication and perseverance in the face of the challenges that come with living with kidney disease will be sorely missed.
In 2024, Arthur was recognized as a DPC Advocacy Champion. We invite you to watch the video below to hear more of his story in his own words:
