Exploring the Rewards of Dialysis Jobs

And as diagnoses of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to rise, so does demand for professionals who can deliver the high-quality dialysis care needed to treat it — especially as those treatments become more advanced, and are delivered in more places.

Why is demand for dialysis care so high in Tennessee? Though it ranks about average on national healthcare scores, it also has a high uninsured rate, which can lead to patients missing or delaying important treatments. And that can worsen health conditions, and lead to more need for emergency intervention.
In fact, Tennessee has some of the highest rates of chronic disease in the United States. It ranks #3 on the list of people with at least one chronic condition, and #2 on the list of residents with three or more.
And, even though it does have a high-quality healthcare system, Tennessee has also seen many rural hospitals close over the past decade. As a result, facilities in cities are experiencing higher utilization — and many are hiring more dialysis professionals to meet that need.
