Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute has launched a new program piloted at Orlando Health Horizon West Hospital.

The program, known as the Vascular Access Program, supports patients with end-stage renal disease by providing urgent access interventions, placing and revising dialysis catheters and addressing blocked or failing fistulas and grafts.

The program's goal is to provide timely and reliable access to dialysis treatment patients depend on.
