A hospital system that provides affordable healthcare or complimentary medical services to the poor and uninsured in Miami-Dade County has announced it will cut dialysis treatments for nearly 200 patients with progressive kidney diseases and renal failure.

Jackson Health System, a quasi-government and privately funded consortium of primary care clinics, mental health facilities hospitals in the region made the decision as a direct result of rising medical costs and funding cuts from local and federal governments. Jackson estimates it will save about $4 million per year by eliminating the dialysis program.

“This decision was not taken lightly,'' Eneida Roldan, chief executive of Jackson, tells the Miami Herald. Roldan explained that Jackson is trying to reduce a projected loss of $168 million for fiscal 2010. She said patients can still get treated in the emergency room.

One of the reasons people turn to keloid scar treatment creams and gels is that many of the traditional medical techniques for scar removal are too risky. Often, surgery to excise keloid tissue merely results in greater, more serious scarring. Few doctors recommend surgery alone for keloid scars. They simply cannot predict the outcome.

Nothing makes a keloid scar go away. There is no cure for the piled-up, red, painful heaped-up scar tissue. Keloids are notoriously difficult to treat, and commonly come back after treatment and appear at any wound site. People who have a family history of keloids have a higher rate of recurrence after treatment.

The goal becomes changing the appearance of the keloid, and here is where silicone keloid scar treatments become invaluable.
