DaVita Inc. is a leading global healthcare provider, primarily focused on delivering comprehensive kidney care services. Founded in 1979 as Medical Ambulatory Care, Inc., and later renamed DaVita in 2000, the company has established itself as a major force in the treatment of chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, DaVita operates a vast network of outpatient dialysis centers, with over 2,675 locations in the United States and an additional 367 centers in 11 other countries. This extensive presence allows the company to serve a large patient population, providing life-sustaining dialysis treatments to approximately 200,800 patients in the U.S. and 49,400 internationally. The company holds a significant 37% market share in the U.S. dialysis market, making it a critical component of the nation's healthcare infrastructure for kidney disease.

DaVita's services extend beyond standard in-center hemodialysis to include peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, and hospital inpatient services, offering patients a range of treatment modalities to suit their individual needs and lifestyles. The company is also committed to integrated care, aiming to manage the overall health of its patients through a variety of programs and services. This includes disease management, clinical research through DaVita Clinical Research, and the development of innovative healthcare solutions via the DaVita Venture Group. The company's mission is 'to be the Provider, Partner, and Employer of Choice,' a principle that guides its interactions with patients, physicians, and its more than 67,000 employees, referred to as 'teammates.' DaVita places a strong emphasis on creating a supportive and inclusive community, a philosophy reflected in its name, which is derived from the Italian phrase 'Dare Vita,' meaning 'to give life.' This ethos drives the company's commitment to improving clinical outcomes, enhancing patient quality of life, and advancing the field of nephrology through continuous innovation and a patient-centric approach to care.
