DaVita Way of Giving Gives Teammates
Opportunity to Make a Difference
DaVita, the kidney care division of DaVita HealthCare Partners
Inc. (NYSE: DVA) and a leading provider of kidney care services,
announced that its teammates donated $1.2 million to charities in
more than 1,100 communities across the United States as part of the
“DaVita Way of Giving.”
For the third year in a row, DaVita teammates in centers across
the U.S. democratically chose local charities to support as part of
the DaVita® Way of Giving, the company’s locally focused charitable
giving initiative that helps 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations
grow and thrive. Charities included relief organizations, animal
shelters, food banks, children’s organizations, crisis centers,
health clinics and many more.
“At DaVita, we believe taking care of one another – both at our
dialysis centers and in the greater community – is vital to our
growth and well-being as a company,” said Steve Priest, DaVita’s
chief wisdom officer. “As a community first, and a company second,
we strive to make a difference in the welfare of the communities
where we live and work.”
As a part of the DaVita Way of Giving, DaVita centers across the
nation also contributed $25,000 to Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts
through the American Red Cross. The Red Cross continues to
distribute much-needed supplies and support, while continually
assessing the needs of those most affected.
In addition to monetary donations, many teammates also
volunteered their time to help these charities through community
service projects – known internally as Village Service Days.
Projects included holiday parties for children and food drives,
among others.
DaVita is committed to improving the quality of life for those
diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and is dedicated to spreading
ripples of citizen leadership through its Trilogy of Care – Caring
for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other and Caring for Our
World.
