W Nevada and the eastern Sierras. In this issue, we take a close look at a group of W nephrologists. Kidney Care Associates is one of two groups serving the area, and we are proud to bring their talents to the forefront. We'll learn about Kidney Care Associates' lengthy and beneficial relationship with DaVita, a company that goes to extraordinary lengths to meet the needs of our area's dialysis patients. With seven convenient locations throughout Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fallon and, opening in spring 2012, Winnemucca, DaVita is a true asset to local dialysis patients and their physicians. Like many other health care professionals, one of the doctors at Kidney Care Associates — Dr. Janina Nylk — is married to another physician, a cardiologist, working in the Reno area. I have been considering doing a special issue on couples who practice in our community. What do you think? I am open to suggestions. Also in this issue we have an article from Darren Proulx at NewMark Investment and Loan presenting a good way for you to achieve a better return on your money. Please take the time to read his story and decide for yourself. I have been noticing in my rounds a lot of physicians and administrators sharing a variety of opinions on the current health care situation. Some think it is taking a good direction, while others tell me they find it abominable. What are your thoughts? I would like to publish opinions from our readers on the ups and downs you are going through. If you would like to have a voice — even if you tell us to make it anonymous — I will gladly offer this publication as a portal within an upcoming issue. Send me an e-mail at dreichert@mdnews.com, and I will print your opinion. Thanks in advance. I am sure a lot of doctors would like to know how others feel. Thanks for reading. Be blessed.
