Kidney care leader launches its next chapter of measurable impact for patients, teammates and communities.
DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / DaVita announced its 2030 Community Care commitments, a new set of long-term goals, focused on improving patient outcomes, supporting the expansion of economic opportunity for teammates, and strengthening community and environmental resilience. The announcement follows the company achieving or exceeding the majority of its prior five-year environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, reinforcing DaVita's track record of turning ambition into measurable impact.
Guided by its Trilogy of Care - Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other and Caring for Our World - the 2030 framework builds on more than 25 years of progress and reflects DaVita's continued commitment to raising the standard for kidney care in the communities it serves.
"As we look toward 2030, we're building on decades of progress and continuing to redefine what's possible in kidney care," said Javier Rodriguez, chief executive officer of DaVita. "Whether it's expanding access to transplants, creating meaningful opportunities for teammates or advancing more sustainable operations, these commitments reflect the impact our teammates make every day in the communities we serve."
The 2030 commitments build on strong momentum from the company's previous five-year goals and focus on three areas central to DaVita's mission.
