(WASHINGTON, DC, February 26, 2024) – In honor of Black History Month, we are pleased to announce a pivotal event focused on “rallying” around dialysis reform that will take place at the US Capitol, Area 15, Union Square, (Out front of the Capitol), Thursday, February 29, 2024, at 10AM (EST).

This event aims to shed light on the pressing need for reform in the dialysis industry and its impact on underrepresented communities.

We invite members of the press to join us for this important occasion to bring awareness to the challenges faced by individuals in need of dialysis treatment, particularly within the Black community. The event will feature insightful discussions, personal stories, and calls to action to drive positive change and ensure equitable access to quality care.

Congresswoman Katie Porter, a proponent for placing “families first”, above corporate greed and influence, has been invited to address the “rally” attendees, and constituents.

Immediately afterwards, key members of the Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition are scheduled to hold discussions with congressional leaders Representative Maxine Waters, and Congressman Jason Crow’s offices to establish accountability measures for proactive legislative reform.

Date: February 29, 2024

Time: 10:00AM (EST)

Location: The U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC

(Area 15, Union Square, Out front of the Capitol.)

RSVP: (240) 274-9436

We look forward to your attendance and coverage of this critical dialogue on dialysis reform, especially during the commemoration of Black History Month.

Mental Health

At Capital City Emergency Trauma & Wellness Center patrons with mental health emergencies that include life threatening situations in which an individual is imminently threatening harm to self or others, severely disoriented or out of touch with reality, has a severe inability to function or is otherwise distraught and out of control, will have access to quality and psychiatric emergency services and referrals.

Physical Health

Whether your life threatening medical emergency involves excessive or uncontrollable bleeding, head injury. difficulty with breathing, severe pain, heart attack, vision impairments, stroke, physically collapsing, or seizure related, rest assured that our professionals will properly assess and evaluate the level of response that will be most needed to help provide stabilized care solutions and minimize complications as well as reduce early mortality.

Holistic Healthcare

We offer healthcare solutions that will support the whole person which includes their physical, psychological, emotional, social, & spiritual wellbeing. Research supports that because your mental state can affect your overall health we support and offer the inclusion of complimentary and alternative medicine(CAM) practitioners and naturopathic doctor recommendations and referrals as a part of our Outreach Community Resource Center’s care regimen and support.

Rehabilitative

Emergency care can typically result in traumatic injuries for which rehabilitation becomes an essential component of care in trying to achieve the best long-term outcomes for the patient. In addition to speeding up recovery times and helping to prevent further complications, rehabilitative care also helps to support a patient’s self-managed recovery once discharged from our facility. Our Outreach Community Resource Center works closely with our trauma center’s discharge department to assure that patrons requiring these services are linked with qualified professionals who will be accountable to the standard of care required to help the patron be successful in their recovery.
