Petition to Save the Grady Dialysis Patients

Protest against death sentence for Grady dialysis patients in Atlanta, GA

After August 31, 2010, thirty three (33) uninsured End-Stage-Renal Disease patients of Grady Memorial Hospital will no longer receive their life-sustaining dialysis treatments.

- In September 2009, Grady Memorial Hospital closed its outpatient dialysis clinic. At that time the thirty three (33) uninsured patients, most of whom are immigrants, were promised dialysis for one year from Fresenius dialysis facilities as specified in the Grady Memorial Hospital – Fresenius contract.

- On August 31, 2010 the Grady Memorial Hospital – Fresenius contract expires.

- To date, no alternative source of dialysis treatment has been made available to the remaining thirty-three patients.

- The patients will die within weeks of the August 31st deadline if they are not provided with ongoing dialysis treatment.

As advocates for human life, please sign the petition below to encourage the private dialysis providers of Atlanta, Georgia, to supply the 33 indigent patients of Grady Memorial Hospital with life saving dialysis care.
