BATAVIA, N.Y. — A dialysis clinic in Batavia is set to close in June, forcing patients to find new locations for their life-saving treatments. Patients got a letter this month notifying them of the closure. The closest clinic accepting new patients is about a 30-minute drive away.

MEDINA – Orleans Community Health has announced plans to consolidate its dialysis services by merging its Lake Plains Dialysis in Medina with Lake Plains Dialysis-Batavia, effective March 31. This strategic move will bring all dialysis services under one roof in Batavia, enhancing sustainability, efficiency and long-term access to high-quality, life-sustaining care for patients across the region, the hospital said in a press release from Scott Robinson, director of marketing.
