DaVita Kidney Care’s Post

As a young adult, Justin experienced an issue with his blood that led to hospitalization, the need for higher levels of care, and dialysis. As his DaVita care team started working with him and his family, they focused on building trust and creating a strong connection with him. His coordinated care helped him maintain eligibility for kidney transplantation. After months of successful treatment at DaVita, Justin celebrated receiving a kidney transplant in February 2024.

Following the widespread impact of Hurricane Milton, we're unlocking access to care by opening our doors to anyone in need of dialysis—including those who normally treat at other providers. We deployed our biomedical teams to restore power at DaVita centers and provided important treatment information to patients who may need to dialyze in a different center. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this storm, including the many teammates who went above and beyond to serve our patients and one another.

“Access to quality health care should not be a luxury. Rather, it should be readily available in every community.” This is the belief that guides our 2024 Health Tour as it embarks on a nationwide journey to provide free health screenings and chronic disease education to communities in need. Over the next two months, the DaVita Health Tour will travel across five states to offer simple, and often transformative health assessments so individuals feel empowered to stay in control of their health. When communities have limited access to care, declining health can go undiagnosed until reaching advanced stages. For chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive condition that often develops silently until reaching kidney failure, this is particularly urgent.

Dr. David Roer MD FACP FASN, chief medical officer emeritus for DaVita IKC, recently joined Dr. Nathan Moore of BJC on stage at The Health Management Academy 2024 to discuss how defragmentation of care in complex patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) can improve clinical outcomes. This discussion touched on the value of integrating these concepts into provider-to-provider value-based structures.
