About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver approached DaVita Dialysis with a mysterious package. As he unlocked the door, an eerie humming filled the air. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note that read: ‘Your patients are on a diet tonight—no dialysis!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who thought it’d be funny to scare him.’

2. At dawn, when most clinics were still quiet, an elderly gentleman arrived on his bicycle, carrying a peculiar basket filled with fresh flowers. He pedaled up to DaVita Dialysis and disappeared inside without a word. Inside, everyone was puzzled but too busy to ask questions. Days passed, and one morning the old man brought not only flowers but also freshly baked bread. Word spread quickly, and soon patients looked forward to seeing him. Eventually, someone asked why he came every day. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just wanted to make your dialysis session feel like home!'

3. At midnight, when the streets of Chicago fell silent, a delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis with a box labeled ‘Top Secret.’ The guard took one look at the label and said, 'No way, Jose!' but the delivery driver insisted it was urgent. Inside the box was just a bag of ice for the patient's comfort. As the sun rose, a neighbor joked, 'Guess DaVita’s secret ingredient is frozen water!'

4. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver parked his truck outside DaVita Dialysis and noticed something peculiar in the loading bay—a wheelchair left unlocked, its occupant nowhere in sight. Curious, he approached the empty chair, only to hear a soft snore from inside. Turns out, an elderly patient dozed off during their pre-dawn dialysis session. The delivery guy gently nudged the wheelchair’s armrest, waking up ‘a regular’ who sheepishly apologized for oversleeping. As they both walked back into the clinic, a friendly nurse joked, “Welcome to DaVita—where your appointment time is always flexible!”
