Summer of Hope for Haiti Recap

This year, teammates from DaVita dialysis clinics have raised over $5,000 for Haiti, and they are continuing to support our efforts through fundraisers this month. You can also join us in our Summer of Hope for Haiti and help reach our goal of $72,000 by September 30th. With your gift, DVT will purchase the supplies (dialysis catheter, six cartridges, fluid lines, and dialysate) needed to provide emergency dialysis to SAVE
THE LIFE of ONE PATIENT through six dialysis treatments
which is $200 per treatment.

For more information and to partner with us as a donor to Summer of Hope for Haiti, click here.  

DaVita Open Enrollment for teammates is coming up in November and it's also your chance to sign up as a Payroll Donor. Our payroll donors are some of our most important supporters. Any donation--large or small--makes a profound difference as we work to provide screening and treatment for dialysis patients around the world. In addition, your monthly gift increases our efficiency, giving us the ability to plan and implement long-term solutions for existing and new Bridge of Life partners, prepare for additional CKD screenings, and answer urgent requests.

Also, this year you can become a Global Giver through your Payroll Donation with a gift of at least $50 annually (only $1.93 per pay period). As a Global Giver you will receive special communications about the impact you help create and learn about the individuals whose lives have been forever changed through your gift. 

Here's your chance to be a part of a life-saving medical mission! Bridge of Life, a program of DaVita Village Trust, is in need of clinical and biomedical volunteers for three upcoming missions in Mexico. Volunteers must have Phoenix machine experience! Spanish language skills are a plus but not required.

I was honored to have an opportunity to participate in a Bridge of Life mission, a program of DaVita Village Trust. 

The mission took place at the Fundanier pediatric dialysis clinic in Guatemala and its purpose was to identify areas for our HCP Coordinated Care Teammates to get involved in the Bridge of Life Missions and to provide strategic business advice to the Fundanier clinic to allow it to meet funding and purchasing challenges. We accomplished our goals and were able to bring our sophisticated business practices and strategic strength to this team to provide them with cutting edge support. We also had the opportunity to bolster Fundanier's negotiating position with the Roosevelt Hospital Administrator.

We spent two days with Dr. Randall Lou and the Fundanier clinical leadership, touring the facility and meeting the kids. I was deeply inspired by the gift that the Fundanier team, supported by Bridge of Life, gives to the children of Guatemala. This clinic is the last hope for these incredible kids. What a truly amazing experience!
