DALLAS, TEXAS — U.S. Renal Care Inc. (USRC), a leading provider of outpatient kidney dialysis services, has opened two outpatient dialysis facilities in North Texas in the cities of Fort Worth and Weatherford and in the Central Texas towns of Boerne and the South Texas town of Elsa. The new facilities are joint venture partnerships with USRC physicians.

The centers will primarily serve new USRC patients who are suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end stage renal disease. The facilities have the capacity to serve approximately 450 patients.

The USRC Delta center, located in Elsa, Texas, adds to USRC’s presence in the South Texas/Rio Grande Valley region. USRC operates 9 centers in that region. With USRC SA Boerne, the company now has 8 dialysis centers in the San Antonio Area. And with the three new Tarrant County centers, USRC brings its total number of centers in the Ft. Worth/Tarrant County region to 12. It also marks a significant expansion of USRC’s peritoneal dialysis capabilities.

“We’re proud to continue our tradition of joint venture partnerships with some of the leading nephrologists in the South Texas, Weatherford, San Antonio and Fort Worth areas,” said Chris Brengard, president and CEO of U.S. Renal Care. “These centers offer patients in these areas an additional choice for their care and for many, better access to care.”
