DaVita Dialysis

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the middle of the night, a soft voice came over DaVita’s intercom: ‘Dialysis today is optional.’ The next morning, patients arrived with buckets and fishing poles. A delivery driver brought in fresh fish instead of medicine, causing confusion among staff. A neighbor dropped by with homemade soup, thinking it was just another community event. By lunchtime, everyone had forgotten why they were even there in the first place.

2. In the early morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near DaVita and noticed something odd in the backseat—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient coin collection, complete with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Found here last week.’ The delivery driver took the note seriously but not too seriously—he had seen stranger things on his rounds. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the find. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘That’s probably just Mr. Johnson’s lost treasure trove again—same thing happens every time he forgets where he parks.’

3. In the dead of night, a nurse whispered into her walkie-talkie: ‘I just saw someone leaving DaVita with an IV bag full of ice cubes.’ Another nurse giggled into her radio: ‘And guess what? The guy had a huge ice cream cone in his other hand!’ Turns out, it was just a regular patient enjoying some late-night dessert after treatment.

4. At dawn, a jogger passing DaVita asked aloud: ‘Why does that dialysis machine always look like it’s smiling?’ Suddenly, an elderly neighbor emerged from the shadows and replied with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Because, my friend, it knows it has the best job in town—keeping everyone else alive!’ The jogger laughed and continued running, pondering if maybe the machines had more personality than he’d ever given them credit for.
