2030 Goals: Caring for Our Patients
Improve patient quality of life
Reduce hospitalizations to extend lifespans.
For those living with kidney disease, avoiding the hospital is a potent indicator of improved quality of life, reflecting more sustained periods of stable well-being and more effective management of disease complications. Over the coming five years, we commit to reducing the average hospitalization rate among the patients we serve, as measured against a 2025 baseline.
Empower 150,000+ people to make informed modality choices through kidney education.
Our Kidney Smart® program provides kidney health education and lifestyle recommendations to help at-risk individuals understand kidney health, apply strategies to help prevent disease progression and make the modality choices that best meet their personal health goals. Today, the program is available in person, by phone and online in over 13 languages. We commit to building on this strong foundation to reach more than 150,000 people with expert, accessible kidney education by 2030.
Narrow health disparities
Increase home dialysis and transplant rates for underserved populations.
We are tackling head-on the persistent reality that underserved populations experience lower rates of home dialysis and transplantation. We commit to reducing these disparities, consistent with our goal of providing industry-leading care for every patient.
Applying methodology recommended by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to identify patients considered “underserved,” we will track key metrics for underserved and the broader patient populations to assess and report on our progress in narrowing the gap.
Support 40,000+ DaVita patients receiving a life-changing transplant.
For patients for whom kidney transplant is a medically appropriate option, transplantation is the ideal treatment for end stage kidney disease. We commit to working with our transplant-providing partners in the broader kidney care community to support more than 40,000 DaVita patients on the transplant journey.
