Five years ago, we studied the issue of dialysis to see what Floyd Valley Hospital could do to help. Since I've been here, we had studied the issue twice before and found wasn't feasible for us. The last time we studied it, we found it wasn't feasible unless we were able to knock down some of the costs so we could better subsidize the losses we could expect. -Mike Donlin

The first priority that was identified was to upgrade the patient rooms. We're going to put out a request for proposals soon to get people designing projects for us.

If we can raise the money in a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, that's great, we'll get started on the project right away. If the fund-raising goes more slowly, we may need to look at other things the hospital can do to help. That might mean providing a bus for transporting dialysis patients back and forth to Sioux City.

We're disappointed. Ours is an adult-kind of place unlike convenience stores, and it's not an area where people worry about kids playing the games.

We don't want to be somebody who just dumps something in the museum's lap and then leaves them to figure out how to take care of it. So, our partnership is more than the donation. We've been providing some in-kind labor, as well.

End-Stage Renal Disease has been a long-standing challenge for the community. It's never raised itself in terms of volume of patients to be a huge need, but it's really an incredible inconvenience for the patients and their families.
