Marion Hedges, ASW, Nephrology Social Worker

Marion Hedges, MSW, ASW, is a well-versed Associate Social Worker who attends to patients as DaVita Oxnard Dialysis Center/ Channel Islands Dialysis in Oxnard, California. She has an impressive professional journey that spans thirteen years and her areas of expertise cover all facets of nephrology social work. Nephrology social work services support and maximize the psychosocial functioning and adjustment of patients who are experiencing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and their families. These services are provided to ameliorate social and emotional stresses resulting from the interacting physical, social, and psychological concomitants of ESRD, including shortened life expectancy, altered lifestyle with changes in social, financial, vocational, and sexual functioning, and the demands of a rigorous, time-consuming, and complex treatment regimen. Throughout her many years of experience, Marion has upheld a steadfast commitment to the ethical and professional standards of her practice, as evidenced by her sterling record, and ensures an impeccable degree of patient satisfaction in all facets of her work. “I believe that every person has the right to dignity and deserves the chance to reach for their highest potential. Everyone deserves a chance. Everyone needs to know that someone cares about them. It is my desire to provide an opportunity in which the patient can see the options available to them, and provide the encouragement to strive for their goals”, says Marion about how she tries to make a difference in the lives of her patients.
