Kidney dialysis technicians are essential to every successful treatment, ensuring that patients with kidney disease receive safe, effective care week-in, week-out. This National Dialysis Technician Recognition Week, celebrated from October 13–18, we honor the dedication and expertise of these vital healthcare professionals.


Kidney dialysis technicians work both behind the scenes, keeping dialysis machines running smoothly, and alongside patients during treatment, carefully monitoring vitals and ensuring each session is safe. With patients spending nearly 12 hours each week in dialysis, kidney dialysis technicians often form strong personal connections, bringing compassion as well as technical skill to their work.


Supporting technicians also means strengthening the broader kidney care workforce. In the 2025 Oregon legislative session, NWKC supported two efforts (SB 966, HB 2554) to expand healthcare training pathways and increase investments in the healthcare workforce, ensuring kidney patients continue to have access to the high-quality care they deserve.


To all kidney dialysis technicians: thank you. Your skill, compassion, and commitment make a difference in the lives of thousands of kidney patients across our region every single day.
