On Thursday, April 24 at 6:00 PM, the Vineyard Haven Library welcomes Dr. Danielle L. Saly of the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital for a presentation on preventing and managing kidney disease. This event will be held at the Katharine Cornell Theater at 51 Spring Street in Vineyard Haven (above the Tisbury Town Hall). Free and Open to the public. No registration required.
Danielle L. Saly, M.D., will provide an overview of chronic kidney disease, including what signs and symptoms to be aware of, and the biggest risk factors for its development. She will review the importance of healthy lifestyle choices, good blood pressure management, and good diabetes control as they relate to the development of kidney disease.
Dr. Danielle Saly is a clinician educator at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. She serves as the Director for Quality and Safety for the Division of Nephrology at MGH and is Medical Director of Martha’s Vineyard Hospital’s Dialysis Unit. She obtained her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Chief Resident Year at Yale New Haven Hospital. She completed a Nephrology Fellowship at the combined Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital Fellowship during which time she obtained her Master of Public Health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Her research interests focus on the role of renal replacement therapy for patients with advanced liver disease who are not candidates for liver transplant, as well as serious illness conversations regarding dialysis initiation. When she is not caring for patients, Dr. Saly enjoys exploring Martha’s Vineyard with her husband, two daughters, and Portuguese water dog, Wally.
