"DaVita(R) is honored to once again make the WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces," said Kent Thiry, Chairman and CEO of DaVita.

Private and non-profit organizations from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, India, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Malaysia made the list from the technology, healthcare, telecommunications, media, manufacturing, aerospace and retail industries
