Dialysis Patient Citizens is a nationwide, non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for dialysis and pre-dialysis patients through education and advocacy. Its membership consists of more than 29,000 patients and their families, and the organization states that its policies and mission are guided solely by its members. Based in Washington, DC, DPC operates within the political organizations sector and functions as a patient-led group focused on issues affecting those with kidney disease who require dialysis or are preparing for it.
The organization serves individuals undergoing dialysis or pre-dialysis treatment and their families, aiming to address challenges related to care, coverage, and access to information. Over the years, DPC has expanded its activities to include initiatives such as training curricula for community health workers, evaluation resources for Medigap coverage for ESRD patients under 65, and tools to compare Medicare plan options. Recent developments reflect ongoing efforts to broaden education, expand advocacy reach, and support patient empowerment from its base in the capital region of the United States.
