DaVita Inc., incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Denver, provides kidney dialysis services through a network of 2,657 outpatient centers in the United States, serving 200,500 patients, and 585 outpatient centers in 14 other countries serving 94,500 patients. The company primarily treats end-stage renal disease, which requires patients to undergo kidney dialysis, often 3 times per week for the rest of their lives unless they receive a kidney transplant via organ donation. In 2025, 68% of the company's revenues came from Medicare and other government-based health insurance programs. In 2025, 89% of the company's patients were covered by government-based health insurance programs. Commercial payers, which accounted for 32% of revenues in 2025, generate nearly all of the company's profit as they reimburse at a much higher rate than government-based health insurance programs. The company is ranked 331st on the Fortune 500.

Comprehensive in-center hemodialysis treatments at 3,113 outpatient dialysis centers worldwide (2,660 in U.S., 453 internationally). Patients typically receive treatment three times per week for 3-4 hours per session, with clinical teams monitoring treatment efficacy, managing complications, and coordinating overall kidney care.

In-Center Hemodialysis

Home Hemodialysis Programs

Peritoneal dialysis services and training programs where patients use the lining of their abdomen (peritoneum) to filter waste from blood. This home-based treatment modality offers greater independence and is associated with improved quality of life.

Peritoneal Dialysis

Comprehensive kidney care services including chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, pre-dialysis education, vascular access care, medication management, nutritional counseling, and care coordination to optimize patient outcomes across the disease continuum.

Integrated Kidney Care

Kidney transplant facilitation and support services helping patients access transplant evaluation, navigate the transplant waitlist, identify living donors, and receive post-transplant care coordination. Helped 8,200 patients receive transplants in 2024, a company record.

Transplant Support Services

Specialized vascular access services including fistula and graft creation, catheter placement and maintenance, and vascular access monitoring to ensure reliable dialysis treatment delivery and minimize complications.
