Clinical Specialties (aka CSI) provides home-based health care services to patients in Ohio and surrounding regions. The company's nurses and other health care professionals administer intravenous medications -- including chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, and hemophilia treatments -- to patients in their homes. The company also coordinates service with other contracted home health care providers, such as physical therapists, hospice nurses, and home health aids. CSI operates mainly in Ohio, but its service area extends into adjoining parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Some people would say that DCI began when the doors to the first clinic were opened. Some would also say that's starting in the middle. The true beginning lies in the heartbreaks and successes of early dialysis. In 1943, during the time of World War II, Willem Kolff invented the first practical dialysis machine, the rotating drum. Kolff's invention was revised and redeveloped and even inspired others to create new dialysis machines and tools. By 1948 the Kolff-Brigham Dialysis Machine and the Skeggs Leonards Plate Dialyzer were created.
