Scope and Contents

Photograph number 1: "At one of the many stops of a tour down the Colorado River, Teresa Peterson poses for a picture while she dialyzes with the portable Wearable Artificial Kidney (WAK). Dialysis patients enjoyed the cool summer days in the fresh outdoors and evenings spent under starry skies. The freedom of a vacation away from the confinement of a hospital setting or dialysis unit would be nearly impossible without the use of the portable WAK."
