The Stone Disease Center
Specialized Stone Care, When It Matters Most
The new Stone Disease Center will expand access to timely, expert treatment for patients suffering from painful and urgent stone conditions—reducing wait times and improving outcomes across our region.
Treating Today’s Stone—and Preventing the Next
Beyond treatment, your care team will work to understand why stones form and develop personalized prevention plans to reduce recurrence and support long-term kidney health.
A Care Environment Built for Comfort and Healing
Thoughtfully planned treatment and recovery spaces will improve comfort, efficiency, and coordination of care for patients undergoing stone procedures.
"The Stone Disease 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."
