Our client
DaVita is a major national and international health care provider and one of the United States’ main dialysis providers. The organization’s name means “giving life” in Italian, and their mission is to enrich the lives of their patients, teammates, and partners across the US and the world. From its humble beginnings in the 1990s, DaVita has grown to encompass 70,000 teammates and serve one and a half million patients.
Project highlights

Their challenge
DaVita’s dialysis centers are a major avenue for serving the community. The company needed an engineering design partner for the build-out of dialysis centers across the greater Chicago area and the Midwest, and Salas O’Brien was an ideal partner. The centers range in size from 5,000 to 8,000 square feet and house approximately 10 dialysis stations, exam and lab space, training areas, nursing stations, and administrative offices.
Our solution
Since the beginning of our ongoing partnership with DaVita, Salas O’Brien has provided engineering design services for approximately 20 centers a year.
The results
Our designs ensure that the infrastructure and systems in these new centers reliably support the critical services DaVita provides to the communities they serve, and we’re proud to empower DaVita as they continue to grow their network of health care centers across the nation.
