IDF is a Maryland-based company committed to remaining a non-profit, independent organization. IDF expands in Maryland when asked to help, if we can improve services to patients. With locations throughout the state, IDF offers convenient and personalized care from a staff that puts the welfare of the patients first. Mission "IDF’s Mission is to care for people with kidney failure. We do this through operating dialysis facilities providing excellent care and promoting independence and rehabilitation for each patient according to his or her capacities and desires. IDF will train professionals at all levels to provide this care, support their efforts and will pursue continuous improvement in practice and results." Company History Independent Dialysis Foundation (IDF) was founded September 14, 1978 as a not-for-profit company affiliated with the University of Maryland, to improve access to dialysis services for the University Hospital’s patients and to promote independence, self-care, and stability for dialysis patients. 1980 IDF opened the Rotunda Center located in Baltimore, MD which offers self-care, staff-assisted, and home training for hemodialysis patients. In January 2003, the Rotunda Center moved into a new building and changed its name to Chestnut Square Dialysis Center. 1990 IDF contracted to manage the dialysis services at the University of Maryland Hospital. 1992 The Calvert Center opened in Prince Frederick, MD (Calvert County), allowing access to dialysis services to area residents, without the need to travel to the Washington DC suburbs. Acute dialysis services were also established at Calvert Memorial Hospital. 2006 In October 2006, The Garrett Dialysis Center became the first and only dialysis center in Garrett County, Maryland. Located in the city of Oakland, the opening of this facility has greatly decreased the travel time of patients who had previously driven up to four hours round trip for hemodialysis. 1987 IDF acquired the out-patient dialysis facility operated by the University of Maryland which would later become the Parkview Center in Baltimore, MD. 1991 IDF opened the Arundel Center in Glen Burnie, MD (Anne Arundel County) and was contracted to provide in-patient and acute hemodialysis services at the Baltimore/Washington Medical Center (formerly North Arundel Hospital). 1992 The Allegany Center opened in Cumberland, MD (Allegany County).
