🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at IDF! 🦃

Today, while many gather with family and enjoy a holiday feast, we’re especially thankful for our incredible patients whose strength and positivity inspire us every single day.

We’re also deeply grateful for our amazing dialysis team members who are here in the units today—working through the holiday so our patients can receive the life-sustaining care they need. Your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for being the heart of what we do. ❤️

To everyone celebrating: may your day be filled with warmth, good food (that fits your renal diet, of course!), and the love of those around you.

We’re thankful for YOU—our patients, families, and staff—who make this clinic feel like family. 🧡

On this Veterans Day, we salute the brave men and women who have served our country with honor and sacrifice.

At IDF, we’re proud to care for veterans who continue to inspire us with their resilience every single day—and we’re equally honored to have veterans on our own team, from physicans to nurses to technicians to administrative staff, who bring that same dedication to every shift.

Thank you for your service, yesterday and today. ❤️🤍💙

Last week IDF-UMMC celebrated their amazing Techs during National Nephrology Technician Week

10/15/2025

Happy National Dialysis Technician Week! IDF Parkview Center kicked it off with a stacked celebration breakfast at the clinic – think fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon and eggs, and enough coffee to power a dialysis machine! 😋 Our amazing techs devoured it all like champs... and now they're back saving lives like it's no big deal! 💪🩸
Who else could handle a feast that epic and still rock their shifts? YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your non-stop dedication. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️

At IDF, clean hands = stronger protection! For our dialysis patients, hand hygiene is a lifesaver – it slashes infection risks & keeps treatments safe. 💪
Quick Tip: Wash for 20 seconds (sing "Happy Birthday" twice!) or use sanitizer with 60%+ alcohol.

🌟We are Celebrating Dialysis Technician Recognition Week🌟

🤩🔧IDF has a group of Machine Technicians behind-the-scenes, managing and troubleshooting the center’s many machines and systems. They work on everything from dialysis equipment to water treatment, and more.

Machine Technicians have specific roles and responsibilities that differ greatly, but everything they do has the same ultimate purpose — improving safety and enhancing quality of life for every patient, every day.
