DaVita
DaVita provided dialysis services for people with chronic kidney failure. It is the largest independent provider of dialysis services in the U.S. Because many PKD sufferers must go on dialysis once they reach the level of kidney failure, the DaVita company may have an impact on their lives. The company’s website is a good online resource for information on dialysis and a good place to sign up for newsletters. Visitors to the website can get access to information but must create an account before signing up for newsletters, etc. The company is good source for people interested in more information on dialysis and those interested in the privatization of dialysis providers.
