DaVita Inc. is one of the largest kidney care companies in the United States, with corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Their offerings include in-center hemodialysis, in-center nocturnal dialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, vascular access management, chronic kidney disease education, and renal diet assistance.
In 1999 DaVita was known as Total Renal Care (TRC), a dialysis company on the brink of bankruptcy. That year, Kent Thiry joined TRC as CEO and the company was restructured and renamed DaVita. DaVita was featured as a Harvard Business School case.
Since then, the company has grown significantly, reaching 230 on the Fortune 500 as of 2014. DaVita acquired Gambro's U.S.-based clinics in 2004. The merger doubled the number of DaVita’s outpatient facilities, combining DaVita's 664 clinics with Gambro Healthcare's 565 clinics. DaVita operates or provides administrative services at more than 2,300 dialysis facilities and domestically employs more than 41,000 people.
In May 2009, DaVita announced it would move its corporate headquarters from El Segundo, California, to Denver. A temporary headquarters that houses more than 300 DaVita employees was leased at 1551 Wewatta Street in Denver’s Lower Downtown (LoDo, Denver) district. In July 2010, DaVita announced it would be building its permanent headquarters adjacent to the Denver Millennium Bridge in LoDo. The new 270,000-square-foot building was completed in 2012 and can house upwards of 900 employees. To accommodate growth while awaiting its new headquarters, DaVita leased a second temporary workspace on 16th Street and Market Street in June 2011.
