DaVita Strives to Improve Quality of Life and Reduce Overall Costs of Kidney Care Through Community-Based Education
Date:6/23/2008

ific, focusing on the unique needs of early stage and late stage CKD patients. Early stage CKD patients learn about how the kidneys function, how to take control of kidney disease and what to expect should the kidneys fail. Late stage CKD patients, those most at risk for kidney failure, learn how to adjust to life on dialysis by controlling their diet, taking the proper medications and choosing the best treatment for their lifestyle. EMPOWER workshops are also open to friends and family members of kidney patients, and encourage their participation.

"Our approach to shaping the future of kidney care is to no longer be just a 'dialysis company', but a kidney care community that strives to make a difference in the lives of all kidney patients," says Kent Thiry, DaVita chairman and CEO. "DaVita believes that by dedicating resources to the full continuum of kidney disease and nephrology practice needs, these efforts will begin to reduce the overall burden on our national healthcare system's limited resource pool."

For more information about the EMPOWER program, including a schedule of upcoming workshops and locations, please call 1-888-MyKidney. DaVita also offers a wide-range of tools designed to help CKD patients manage their dietary and nutritional needs through its user-friendly Web site at http://www.davita.com.
