About Us

Kidney/Renal care is a major area of emphasis for Providence Health Care. We're proud to offer the most integrated kidney treatment, research and educational programs in British Columbia.

Our dedicated multi-disciplinary team offers a variety of prevention and treatment programs for people living with chronic kidney disease in British Columbia and the Yukon.

St. Paul's Hospital is the primary site of our Renal Program, providing a wide range of inpatient and ambulatory care services. Our patients benefit from the latest research in kidney disease, from early intervention to dialysis and kidney transplantation. Providence Health Care also operates seven community hemodialysis units and several kidney function clinics across Vancouver Coastal Health.
