  DaVita Opens its Doors to all Dialysis Patients in New Orleans

Business Wire

NEW ORLEANS -- August 30, 2012

Recognizing that South Louisiana is being ravaged by Hurricane Isaac and that
emergency rooms are filling up with patients impacted by the storm, DaVita is
seeking to ease that burden by encouraging any dialysis patient in need of
treatment – regardless of their typical provider – to contact DaVita’s Guest
Services Contact Center at 800-400-8331.

DaVita’s Guest Services Contact Center will work with patients to identify the
closest clinic to them, get them scheduled for a treatment that fits their
needs, and work with the patient’s physician or traditional caregiver(s) to
coordinate the treatment process.

For more information, please call 800-400-8331 or go to
