Patient Services

All programs are available to patients throughout Maine through collaborative efforts with renal social workers at all dialysis units.

Renal Dialysis Centers

The National Kidney Foundation of Maine is proud to provide assistance to 19 (and growing) renal dialysis facilities in Maine. For information on the dialysis center nearest you, call us at 1-800-639-7220.

During the past two years, NKFM has awarded $150,000.00 directly to patients in Maine.

Patient Assistance Grants

A long-term illness such as kidney failure takes its toll both physically and financially on kidney patients. The National Kidney Foundation of Maine provides assistance to kidney patients and transplant recipients in need. Patient Assistance Grants are available as a one-time emergency request.
The NKFM offers financial assistance for help with heating oil, medications, transportation to and from dialysis, housing, food, and other material needs (glasses, dentures, utilities, etc.). To apply for these funds, patients must contact their dialysis center social worker and submit applicable receipts.
