The Nightingale Nursing & Rehab Center will be partnering with Davita Dialysis to bring the only Skilled Nursing facility based in-house dialysis den. 

The Nightingale Nursing & Rehab Center was formerly known as St. Mary's East. 

The partnership is a first for Erie County and will help meet the need of patients who need treatment and rehabilitation. 

Nightingale Nursing said by having an in-house den patients will not need to be transported out of the facility and miss therapy time. They said it will also help patients receive great care and have time to see family. 

Nightingale Nurse & Rehab Center and Davita Dialysis will be hosting a ribbon cutting to celebrate the partnership April 17 at 4 p.m.
