DaVita has announced its 2030 Community Care commitments, outlining a new long-term sustainability and healthcare roadmap after successfully exceeding most of its earlier five-year environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. The company said the updated framework reflects its continued focus on improving kidney care outcomes while strengthening communities and environmental performance.

The new strategy is guided by DaVita’s “Trilogy of Care”: Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other, and Caring for Our World. It builds on more than 25 years of operations in kidney care and aims to further expand access, equity, and quality across its global network.

Advancing Patient-Centered Kidney Care

Under its healthcare pillar, DaVita is targeting improvements in patient quality of life by reducing avoidable hospitalizations and expanding education programs. In 2025, more than 40,000 people participated in Kidney Smart® classes, bringing total outreach to over 300,000 individuals. The company also supported more than 8,000 kidney transplants during the year.

By 2030, DaVita aims to educate 150,000 patients to make informed treatment choices, support 40,000 transplant recipients, and reduce disparities in access to home dialysis and transplants for underserved communities.

Looking ahead, DaVita plans to maintain engagement levels above 80%, develop 2,000 new nurses through internal programs, and contribute 300,000 volunteer hours by 2030.
