The Kidney Stone Center
The Kidney Stone Center
The Center for Comprehensive Kidney Stone Care will expand access to timely, expert treatment for patients experiencing painful kidney stone conditions—helping to reduce wait times and improve outcomes across our region.
Beyond treating active stones, the care team will work with patients to understand why stones form and develop personalized prevention plans to reduce recurrence and support long-term kidney health. Thoughtfully designed treatment and recovery spaces will further enhance patient comfort, efficiency, and coordination of care for those undergoing stone procedures.
"The Kidney Stone Center represents an opportunity to transform how we care for patients with stone disease. By bringing together world-class surgical expertise, advanced technology, and dedicated prevention programs, we're building something truly special—a center where every patient receives not just excellent treatment, but a comprehensive plan to stay healthy for the long term."
