Pilot Project Brings Home HD to Montreal Cree Community

Shirley Matoush is the first person in her Cree community to try home hemodialysis with a NxStage machine under a new program in Montreal, Canada. With just two hospitals in the region offering hemodialysis, patients like Shirley had to travel long distances or even live away from their families. The Cree Health Board hopes to expand the option to others.
