DaVita means “to give life” in Italian - which is fitting for the mission of this healthcare company who is on a quest to “Build the Greatest Healthcare community the world has ever seen,” according to their website. This international company, serving 11 countries outside of the United States, has received numerous awards including the Business Group on Health's Best Employers Award and Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America. With 55,000 teammates employed in the U.S. serving over 200,000 patients, DaVita has become a pillar in the Healthcare industry, specializing in kidney care, kidney disease, and dialysis. “Nearly 2,000 people in Delaware rely on dialysis to stay alive,” informed Kathleen Edwards, facility administrator for the company. “As a leading provider of kidney care services in the U.S., DaVita will help to fulfill this need for life-sustaining care in our community by bringing more than 20 years of experience and proven clinical outcomes in the kidney care industry.”
For those who are not familiar with dialysis - it is a life-sustaining, critical, routine treatment for impaired kidney function, which could lead to kidney failure. Dialysis is needed when a patient’s kidney is not functioning properly, resulting in blood and toxins not being removed from the body. DaVita provides this life-sustaining treatment to those who need it. Dialysis is more accessible now than ever through private and state/federal funded insurance programs. Treatment can be completed on-site or in the comfort of patients’ homes. This new DaVita Harrington location will offer both in-center and home modality services to the community. This new DaVita location will give many patients across the state access to life-sustaining care.
DaVita is a pillar in the healthcare industry however their services include much more than dialysis including:
· Kidney health education
· Diet and nutrition resources
· Kidney transplant resources
· Home dialysis treatment
· Prescription management
