Satellite Healthcare, which operates a dialysis clinic at 134 Elmhurst Drive, Ste. 100, Kyle, upgraded its equipment Sept. 1. The nonprofit provider of dialysis services now uses a single-use, blood-filtering dialyzer, ending the practice of allowing patients to reuse dialyzers. Dialyzers are machines used in the dialysis treatment process. The organization said the decision was made after recent studies indicated reusing dialyzers can harm patient's health.512-268-3100. www.satellitehealth.com
