dialysis center
Blood filtration facility
A dialysis center is a medical facility where patients with kidney failure receive dialysis treatment—a process that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function.
Most patients visit several times per week for sessions lasting several hours: She drives her mother to the dialysis center three times a week.
