Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading provider of kidney care and
health care services, today announced it has been recognized as a
Top Workplace by the Bay Area News Group for the second year in a

In its second year as a Top Workplace, DaVita ranked ninth in

"We are honored to once again be chosen as a Bay Area Top

difficult field to work in. We believe nurturing each other better
equips us to nurture our patients. This philosophy inspires our
award-winning leadership development programs, open communication
channels, scholarships and financial assistance to teammates in
time of need. We pride ourselves on being a community first and a
company second, and our commitment to community engagement reflects
that belief."

Each Other and Caring for Our World," drives the company's
