1975

Dallas Kidney Disease Center was opened by Drs. Prati, Hull and Associates.  Dallas Kidney Disease Center was the second dialysis center to open in Dallas, TX.  At the time, it was the largest dialysis center in the world, with 53 dialysis stations.


Drs. Hull, White and Paul Peters, Sr., established a nonprofit organ recovery organization named Southwest Organ Bank.  With support from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the organization increased the availability of kidneys for transplant.  Dr. Martin White was the founding President and remained in that office until the year 2000.  (Source:  BUMC Group Practice Article – F.
