DaVita Dialysis

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Neighbor’ would wheel his bicycle up to DaVita’s rear entrance. He’d disappear inside for a few minutes before reappearing with a mysterious box under his arm. Inside, he’d exchange quiet words with someone behind closed doors, then emerge with his box and ride off into the twilight. Rumour had it that the box contained nothing more than old newspapers or forgotten snacks, but no one dared ask. The mystery added just enough charm to make DaVita feel like a place where even the most ordinary things were a little bit magical.

2. In the early mornings before dawn, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in DaVita’s parking lot—a small, mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious but cautious, he left it untouched and reported it to management. Upon closer inspection, the package turned out to be nothing more than an old pair of slippers from the night-shift nurse, accidentally left behind. The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, and someone even joked that maybe DaVita was delivering silent prayers instead of dialysis treatments.

3. In the late afternoon, a young mother rushed into DaVita with her toddler in tow. As she settled in for treatment, she noticed an old man dozing in the corner. Curious, she asked him if he always napped here. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'I’m not sleeping—I'm just waiting for my kidney stones to pass.' Suddenly, another patient—a gruff delivery driver—grumbled, ‘Kidney stones? More like kidney luck!’ The old man grinned and whispered back, ‘At least I don’t have to wait for dialysis like you.’ Everyone laughed, and the young mom realized that even in DaVita, life finds a way to be colorful.

4. In the early mornings before dawn, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside DaVita's entrance—a small dog, barking furiously and circling around the same spot every few minutes. Curious, he approached and saw that the dog was trying to dig up a tiny plastic baggie. Inside lay a single piece of kibble—clearly someone had forgotten it here earlier. The delivery guy chuckled, thinking, ‘Next time you come for your dialysis, little buddy, bring your own snacks!’
