About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, a sign appeared one morning over the reception desk: ‘Today is your lucky day—don’t forget to bring your umbrella!’ Nurses and patients exchanged confused glances until an elderly gentleman approached the counter with just that—a brightly colored umbrella under his arm. Since then, every Wednesday, someone arrives carrying something peculiar: a guitar, a box of donuts, or even a karaoke machine. One Wednesday, a delivery driver arrived pushing a cart filled with balloons of every color. The staff wondered what it meant until they realized he was celebrating a patient’s birthday. Soon enough, Wednesdays became not only quirky but also joyous occasions at DaVita.

2. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, a regular noticed something peculiar on his way out one day—a small dog had taken up residence outside the entrance, patiently waiting for someone who never came. As days passed, more people started bringing treats and toys for the little guy. One day, a delivery driver joked that maybe it was DaVita’s mascot, ‘waiting for its grand opening.’ Finally, a neighbor confessed: ‘I brought him here last week—thought he’d find his way home.' The clinic erupted in laughter, and now everyone calls him ‘Dialysis Dugout’.

3. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, an elderly patient exclaimed during her session: 'I just saw Mr. Smith walking backwards down the hallway!' The staff looked around but couldn't see anyone. Suddenly, another voice chimed in from across the room: ‘And I thought I saw Mrs. Johnson feeding her cat through the wall!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just a game of collective hallucination. The session ended with everyone feeling lighter and more connected.

4. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, a worried neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does that delivery truck keep honking its horn?’ ‘Because,’ replied a friendly delivery driver, ‘it’s our secret signal that everything is working perfectly inside!’ The neighbor smiled and shook his head, thinking, ‘These dialysis people sure know how to make their patients feel at home.’
