Mission & Welcome Message

Mission
The NAC/ ISPD has been formed in order to enhance and promote the highest quality of care for patients receiving peritoneal dialysis, and to encourage collaboration in addressing fundamental issues concerning peritoneal dialysis therapy, in the United States and Canada. This is to be accomplished by:

  1. Promoting knowledge of peritoneal dialysis in the nephrology community by facilitating a variety of educational activities.
  2. Advancing knowledge of peritoneal dialysis through the support and encouragement of peer- reviewed research proposals.
  3. Influencing national policy and regulatory directives in order to optimize care delivery to patients receiving peritoneal dialysis and to provide improved resources to the peritoneal dialysis community to assist with self-advocacy efforts.

Welcome Message
I would like to welcome you to the North American Chapter of ISPD website. This website provides the visitor with information about NAC as organization as well as its research programs, educational activities, sponsored conferences and other useful information related to PD in North America.

I hope you find the information helpful and I welcome your suggestions and feedback.
