IDF Garrett Center

IDF Garrett Center is an outpatient dialysis clinic at 888 Memorial Drive in Oakland, run by the Independent Dialysis Foundation. It provides in-center hemodialysis for people in Garrett County living with kidney failure, so regular treatments can happen in the county rather than farther away.

In-Center Hemodialysis Close to Home

The Garrett Center is a 12-station facility offering in-center hemodialysis, with Medicare certification dating to 2006. Federal dialysis data lists it as not offering in-center peritoneal dialysis or home hemodialysis training, so it is best understood as a place for scheduled, staffed hemodialysis sessions. Treatment times are set with the clinic and your kidney care team.

A Nonprofit Maryland Dialysis Provider

The Independent Dialysis Foundation is a Maryland nonprofit headquartered in Baltimore that has operated dialysis clinics for more than four decades and describes itself as affiliated with the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Its network includes the Chestnut, Parkview, Arundel and Calvert centers, with the Oakland clinic serving the far-western end of the state. Across its facilities, IDF offers in-center hemodialysis and training and supervision for home peritoneal dialysis.

Before You Go

New patients are usually referred by a nephrologist or hospital team, and the clinic is listed by the Maryland Department of Health's kidney disease program under Garrett County. Calling ahead is the easiest way to ask about starting treatment or transferring from another unit.
