Company Profile
The Centers for Kidney Care
Company Overview
We partner with three of the top dialysis companies in the nation at 17 outpatient dialysis units and 8 home therapy units across East Texas, Northeast Texas, and Southeast Oklahoma. We provide patient care in 4 acute/inpatient dialysis units at hospitals in Tyler and Paris, and inpatient telehealth services at 8 hospitals in the East Texas Region.
We have expanded our clinic outreach to 5 additional satellite clinics in East Texas, Northeast Texas, and Southeast Oklahoma, including opening a second full-time clinic in Paris, Texas. These expansions have allowed us to bring specialized kidney care closer to home for our patients and their families.
Company History
Our story began 50 years ago, in 1974, when Dr. Thomas Lowery became the first nephrologist in the Tyler area. Shortly thereafter, Dr. James Cotton joined the practice in 1978, starting a group practice known as Tyler Nephrology Associates, PA. That same year, the first chronic dialysis unit in the Tyler area opened, which still serves our patients today. The following decades saw continued growth and innovation with additional dialysis units, expansion into home therapies, and the addition of over 20 physicians and advanced practitioners today. Recognizing our expanding service area, growing team, and evolving vision, we rebranded in 2017 from Tyler Nephrology Associates, PA to The Centers for Kidney Care.
