Deliver high quality, innovative care in an academic setting through a collaboration with DaVita
Work with a trusted team
Our approach to academic kidney care relies on innovative solutions to advance patient care and outcomes. Through programs and collaboration in research, training, specialized care and related areas—developed and strengthened with 20+ years of industry-leading expertise—we aim to be the Partner of Choice to advance patient care, kidney science and outcomes.
Improve outcomes, lower costs
We can help you improve care for patients with chronic and end stage kidney disease while potentially lowering total cost of care through innovative approaches to provide end-to-end care—including dialysis at home, access to cutting-edge clinical trials, reducing the need for emergency visits and unnecessary hospitalizations and expanding access to kidney transplants.
