Six Nations Dialysis Unit (Continued from front) can potentially have negative consequences, things can go wrong. If you're unstable and need a bed you're not dialysizing here, you have to be able to sit in a chair and get yourself to and from." Aboriginal patients are on the top of the list for treatment but the unit will also service the surrounding area. "Priority is being given to Aboriginal patients but it's not limited to the reserve by any means. It's a geographic region so I know there will be some patients coming from Caledonia, Hagersville, Cayuga and surrounding areas," said Haynes. "For the initial batch, priority will be given and after that it's sort of a first come first serve basis." Haynes had a dialysis machine set up at the Six Nations job expo last Wednesday. He spoke to the visitors about how he got into the dialysis field and what kind of education and training he needed to get there. He told interested youth and adults that to enter the field they needed to complete a college or university degree and also participate in an in-­house training program at the hospital.
