DaVita acquired Gambro Healthcare's US dialysis business to more than double its size and create a national network competitive with Fresenius Medical Care. Gambro was the third-largest dialysis provider in the United States, and the acquisition established the US dialysis duopoly.
DaVita acquired HealthCare Partners to diversify beyond dialysis into physician group management and integrated care. HealthCare Partners operated medical groups in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington, serving approximately 1.7 million patients.
DaVita has acquired dialysis providers in multiple international markets including Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia to expand its global footprint. These acquisitions target markets with underdeveloped dialysis infrastructure and growing demand.
DaVita traces its origins to 1999, with Total Renal Care and Renal Treatment Centers predecessors tied to the founding story.
The Gambro Healthcare acquisition helped create a U.S. dialysis duopoly with national clinic scale.
DaVita expanded by building outpatient dialysis, home dialysis support, kidney care services, physician partnerships, and care coordination, serving kidney disease patients, nephrologists, payers, hospitals, Medicare, and health systems, and using clinic productivity, home dialysis, integrated kidney care, payer contracts, and patient retention.
