- Breathin’ Easy: A Guide for Travelers with Pulmonary Disabilities

- dialysisfinder.com
- A free service designed to help you locate dialysis units near where you live, or when travelling, near where you are going. Enter an address and a map pops up with nearby dialysis units. The concept is great, but the implementation is not comprehensive: we struck out totally with Boston, Cleveland, New York, and Rome. Worth a shot, especially if the database improves.
