What is End-Stage Renal Disease, "ESRD"?
ESRD is irreversible kidney disease which requires treatment with an artificial kidney (dialysis) or a kidney transplant for a person to maintain life and health. ESRD is the only disease which entitles an individual to Medicare benefits (with some minimum requirements).

What is the Intermountain ESRD Network?
The Intermountain ESRD Network (Network #15) is a federally mandated, nonprofit Colorado corporation that contracts with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to implement the ESRD Network program in its six-state area: Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

The mission of Network #15 is to facilitate the improvement of quality of care provided to ESRD patients. Network #15 is also charged with the collection and validation of information about, and treatment of persons with ESRD.
