DaVita Expands Facilities to Metro Denver Area

DaVita is expanding its business by opening two new facilities in the Denver metropolitan area. The company will open a research facility and a call center in Denver metropolitan area. With this expansion, as many as 200 quality jobs will be created in metro Denver area. DaVita has not disclosed the locations of the two facilities. An announcement in this regard has been made by a top provider of kidney care services, DaVita. The organization is committed to improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

A new early clinical research unit will be built in Denver metro as DaVita Clinical Research expands its capability. Medical, technical and scientific jobs will be therefore added to the community. Additional opportunities to attract the world's top healthcare innovators will be also provided to the Denver metro area with this facility. These will include pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies. DaVita’s commitment in advancing the knowledge and practice of kidney care is evident with this expansion of service.

A call center will also be created by DaVita in metro Denver. Calls from patients, family members, hospitals and doctors will be taken up the center. While traveling, patients will be able to locate dialysis centers, even if there are no DaVita centers in that area. Thousands of these placements, both visiting and permanent are made each month by DaVita's existing call center in Malvern, Penn. The increased call volume will be now handled by the new call center at Denver.

In a release, Kent Thiry, CEO and Chairman, DaVita, said, "We are bringing these jobs to our new headquarters city because we have found Denver to be a great community to live and work in and a great community in which to do business. Everything then mayor, now Governor John Hickenlooper promised regarding quality of life and the positive business environment in Denver and Colorado has turned out to be true and exceeded our expectations."

DaVita will have an even greater impact on the local economy with these new jobs. Over 320 new jobs have already been added by DaVita after announcing relocation of its corporate headquarters to Denver.
