About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis one morning, puzzled by an unusual sight on the parking lot. Among the usual wheelchairs and medical equipment, there sat a brightly colored kiddie pool filled with water and floating toys. The delivery driver tilted his head, wondering if it was some kind of therapy session or a practical joke. Just then, an elderly patient hobbled out, wearing a big smile as he pushed a toy boat across the water. ‘It’s for our kids,’ he explained cheerfully. The driver shook his head, smiling, thinking that maybe DaVita had found the perfect way to bring joy even in such serious places.

2. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis puzzled by an unusual sight: a neighbor watering their lawn with a garden hose attached to the building’s air conditioning unit. Curious, the delivery driver approached and asked what on earth he was doing. With a straight face, the neighbor replied, ‘I’m keeping our dialysis center cool while they’re closed.’ The two burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes even the most absurd situations can bring people together.

3. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis. On the board above him, in bold letters, read: ‘Today’s Special: Extraordinary Patience Needed.’ The delivery driver parked his truck and stretched, then walked inside with a smile on his face. Inside, everyone was indeed extraordinarily patient—so much so that they didn’t even notice the bag of donuts he’d left behind the counter. By lunchtime, the whole neighborhood had stopped by for a sweet surprise.

4. At midnight, when most dialysis centers sleep in silence, a delivery truck pulled up to DaVita Dialysis. The driver’s eyes widened as he noticed something odd: the lights were on, but no sounds came from inside. Curious, the driver approached the door and heard faint music coming from within—a classical piece playing softly. Inside, he found an old man diligently cleaning equipment while humming along to the tune. ‘I thought you were closed,’ said the driver. The man smiled and replied, “Ah, it’s our nightly tradition—music therapy for better kidney health!”
