Orestes Lugo, President, stated, "We will be working with Dr. Weiner to deliver both in-center and peritoneal dialysis services to patients in the area. We are also in an excellent location inside the Memorial West Medical Building, providing a great convenience to the patients who frequently have office visits with their nephrologists there.”

Dr. Weiner added, “Our dialysis facility at Memorial West is, by far, the finest dialysis facility I have seen. RCP has delivered a product that is aesthetically pleasing and extremely comfortable for our patients. We have a terrific staff and state of the art equipment.  I, along with Dr. Syed Hashmi, Dr. Joanna Rodriguez, and Dr. Julio Vijil look forward to working with RENAL CAREPARTNERS in providing the highest quality patient care in a truly first-class facility."

The new Georgia facility is a 17-station facility located in Hapeville, near the Atlanta Airport.

Orestes Lugo, President, stated "The Hapeville community is delighted that we are here to offer our services to patients in the local communities of Hapeville, East Point, Forest Park and College Park. We already have a strong presence and excellent reputation in the Atlanta area and hope to build on that with this facility.”

Dr.  Bob Agbogu, the medical director, added "I had been looking for a partner to build a facility in this area for quite a while. I selected RENAL CAREPARTNERS because they were very responsive to my needs and physician focused. I am looking forward to working with RCP in order to provide outstanding service to the patients in this area."

Chairman and CEO, Milton Wallace, commented, "The opening of these new centers is consistent with our strategic growth plans in the South. These facilities and our new physician partners are a testament to the type of quality focused, patient oriented relationships we are in search of with all of our partners. We are also very excited about our growth prospects, as we are in various stages of development for additional clinics in several states which we expect to open later this year and in early 2010.
