For Children
Pediatric Nephrology Centers
Phoenix Children's is the singular pediatric kidney care institution for Arizona — the largest nephrology group in the Southwest, the state's only transplant program, its only dialysis center, and its only fellowship program for training future nephrologists.
Camp Kidney & Make-A-Wish: Phoenix Children's partners with Make-A-Wish Arizona to grant wishes for children with kidney disease, and runs Camp Kidney — a program that lets kids with kidney disease simply be kids. Ask your Phoenix Children's care team about both programs. Resources are available in Spanish: Recursos disponibles en español.
Telehealth for rural and remote AZ: Flagstaff is 2.5 hours from Phoenix; Yuma is 3+ hours. Phoenix Children's provides telehealth nephrology visits for families in Flagstaff, Yuma, and rural communities — including tribal communities — so children can be seen without long-distance travel for routine follow-up. Ask for a telehealth appointment when scheduling.
