DaVita Kidney Care

As a young adult, Justin experienced an issue with his blood that led to hospitalization, the need for higher levels of care, and dialysis. As his DaVita care team started working with him and his family, they focused on building trust and creating a strong connection with him. His coordinated care helped him maintain eligibility for kidney transplantation. After months of successful treatment at DaVita, Justin celebrated receiving a kidney transplant in February 2024.
