DaVita Dialysis

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the middle of the night, a voice crackled over DaVita’s intercom: ‘This is your friendly neighborhood kidney machine calling. Please adjust your dialysis settings for maximum efficiency.’ A concerned nurse picked up the receiver and asked, 'Is this some kind of practical joke?' The voice replied, 'No, I'm just here to remind you that our machines are always on standby—even when you're not.' With a chuckle, she adjusted the settings, and from then on, every now and then, patients would hear a soft beep followed by, 'Good morning! Your session is running smoothly today!'

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the clinic's parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee. Turns out, someone had been leaving free morning brew for the staff as a thank-you for their hard work. A nice surprise that brought a smile to everyone’s face.

3. In the quiet hours after dawn, a nurse adjusted her cap and asked aloud, 'Who keeps leaving these tiny origami cranes on our patients’ beds?' Over the next few days, more and more paper birds appeared—each one different but always delicate and intricate. It turned out that an anonymous neighbor was making them as goodwill gestures for the patients. By the end of the week, the clinic had a whole display case filled with these little wonders, and everyone smiled whenever they walked past it.

4. At midnight, a familiar voice came over DaVita’s intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your dialysis machines are now playing classical music.' One night, a delivery driver heard the soothing melody and thought it was coming from his truck stereo. Next morning, he showed up with an extra box of CDs for ‘classical dialysis.’ Meanwhile, a regular patient dozed off to Mozart, dreaming he was attending a private concert in Vienna—until his alarm went off.
