Subject: Marsh Street Bridge and Dialysis Clinic access
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
I know many of you as I am a resident of San Luis Obispo but I am contacting you in my role as Group Facility
Administrator for DaVita's Dialysis Clinics in SLO County.
Our DaVita San Luis Obispo Dialysis Clinic is located at 1043 Marsh Street. Our Facility Administrator is Jessica
Smith. Jessica let me know the Council has an agenda item for today's meeting regarding the potential closure of the
bridge that is adjacent to our clinic and parking lot. We'd like to be discuss the plan for the timing of this closure and
how we will continue to have access for our patients and teammates to parking and to the clinic.
DaVita provides life sustaining treatments to both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients daily, except Sundays,
from approximately 3 am to 7 pm. Patients who come for hemodialysis treatments must have access to their clinic
based treatments 3 to 4 times a week to continue living. It is critical that we consider their ability to be transported to
and from the clinic if a bridge closure does occur. This involves individual cars and commercial transport vans with
equipment for the handicapped. Secondarily, we need to consider parking access for the dedicated team that provides
these treatments.
We know you will be sensitive to the needs of all of the businesses in the area of Marsh Street as consideration of this
bridge closure moves forward. We appreciate you including our patients and teammates in this mix of concerns.
Jessica and I plan to be present at the Council Meeting this evening so look forward to seeing you there.
You can contact me at our Templeton clinic at 805 434 -3473, or Jessica at our San Luis Obispo Clinic at 805 543-
1013. Thank you in advance for allowing us to be a part of planning for the potential closure of the Marsh Street bridge.
