It is essential that ESRD Programs respond to all of the needs of their patients- physical, emotional and psychological.Ensuring their patients are engaged and that their care is patient-centered will assist in this. Barriers exist, but these barriers can be overcome through commitment and planning.

“It will be better for people…It will be better for those who care for people.We will wonder why we were so afraid of change for so long.We will regret the harm that could have been prevented had we changed sooner.We will regret the good not done because we didn’t change sooner and on a larger scale.”– Stephen Lewis, 2012 (As referenced by Stockie).
