As part of the Medical Center's commitment to serve all of the community, specialized occupational health programs have been developed to meet the unique needs of the workplace. These programs address physical and mental health needs of area employers. The Diabetes Management Program at The Medical Center at Princeton provides access to the latest information and the most effective treatment-support programs available. Our team of Certified Diabetes Educators consists of a Nurse Educator, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and a Registered Dietitian who provide a wide range of diabetes management programs designed to meet your individual needs. Our inpatient dialysis unit provides comprehensive services to patients with kidney disease who must be hospitalized during treatment.
Dialysis is a painless procedure that replaces some of the kidneys' normal functions.
The Medical Center's dedicated four-bed unit is staffed by experienced nephrologists and nurses, nutritionists, and social workers who are extensively trained in the unique needs of dialysis patients. Although dialysis cannot cure kidney disease, it allows people to continue living an independent life while undergoing treatment. The unit operates under the leadership of Michael Ruddy, M.D., chief of Nephrology, and Grace Bialy, M.D., medical director of Dialysis Services. In addition to their clinical positions, both physicians also hold academic posts. The team also includes Christopher Kolasa, M.D., a nephrologist who has extensive experience treating patients with kidney disease.
