Fresenius Medical Care Wins Major Award to Support U.S. Veterans with Industry-Leading Dialysis Care
Summary
The VA awarded a five-year contract to FMCNA in five different categories, the most of any medical device company, including home dialysis machines, critical care equipment, water purification systems, and in-center hemodialysis. "We are extremely proud to continue our decades-long relationship with Veterans Affairs and serving the men and women who have given so much for their country," said Joe Turk, President of the Renal Therapies Group at Fresenius Medical Care North America. "This contract is a testament to our innovation, industry-leading technology, and our ability to meet the needs of our veterans, whether they require dialysis in the hospital, in an outpatient setting, and more increasingly at home. "Under the five-year national contract, the VAs 106 hospitals and clinics can purchase Fresenius Medical Cares complete in-center, acute, and home dialysis offerings. Empowering more patients to choose home dialysis is a key priority for the company and the government as it can provide veterans greater lifestyle flexibility and independence.
