MGH Hemodialysis Unit, Marquette General Foundation partnering on ‘Friends of Dialysis’ awareness initiative
The Hemodialysis Unit at Marquette General Hospital and the Marquette General Foundation have teamed up on a “Friends of Dialysis” awareness initiative to help raise money and purchase new machines for the unit.
Friends of Dialysis
Gifting for the
greater good
The 14-station Hemodialysis Unit serves Marquette, Alger and Baraga Counties. As a Regional Medical Center, the Marquette General Hemodialysis Unit also provides acute critical treatments for all U.P. dialysis patients.
The unit has an immediate need to replace five of its 21 machines. New equipment will experience less downtime and interruptions for Marquette General’s valued dialysis patients. For many, dialysis is a life-saving treatment needed three times a week to remove harmful waste products from the blood.
Giving forms are available in the Marquette General Hospital Hemodialysis Unit, in the Marquette General Foundation office, and online on the Marquette General Foundation website (www.mgh.org/foundation).
For more information, contact Hemodialysis Nurse Manager Andrea Wills, RN, BSN, at
(906) 225-3263, or 1-800-562-9753, ext. 3263 or Jim LaJoie, Planned Giving and Major Gifts Manager in the Marquette General Foundation, at (906) 225-3431 or jlajoie@mgh.org.
