Trilogy of Care
As one of the largest kidney care providers in the US, we’ve been a leader in clinical quality and innovation for more than 20 years. We own this achievement with pride. Our vision of Community Care is about even more than delivering world-class health care services. It means consistently meeting our values-based commitments to each other within DaVita, to the communities we serve and to our environment.
In this, our annual Community Care Report, we share an update on the initiatives that moved our Community Care commitments forward in 2022.
