In 2023, Satellite Healthcare provided over 1,152,816 dialysis treatments and services to over 8,300 patients in California, Texas, new jersey, and tennessee.peritoneal dialysis and home hemo center: wellbound, a Satellite Healthcare company, is the first Healthcare services company to specialize in the delivery and support of daily home dialysis therapies through free-standing, patient-friendly centers of excellence. Our unique care model is built on the premise that early-stage patient education is the first step in an effective treatment program. As such, we dedicate significant resources to reaching patients before they require dialysis. Once dialysis is required, wellbound's goal is to enable nephrologists to easily offer self-care (home) dialysis therapies to their patients. We strive to empower patients to take charge of their health and experience the clinical and quality of life benefits associated with self-care dialysis.we strive to empower patients to take charge of their health and experience the clinical and quality of life benefits associated with self-care dialysis.
