A new satellite dialysis unit is now open at the Charlotte County Hospital.
The new unit will be open for 12-hours a day, 3 days a week, and treat 10 patients.
MLA for Charlotte-Campobello Curtis Malloch says it's important to keep health care close to home in order to improve a patient's quality of life.
The province contributed 1.2 million dollars while the Charlotte Country Hospital Foundation kicked in 350-thousand dollars.
