Our Mission: Committed to advancing the knowledge and practice of kidney care
DaVita Clinical Research (DCR) is the bridge linking DaVita services to the pharmaceutical and biotech research community.
The virtue of DaVita Clinical Research is our unsurpassed knowledge, skill, and experience related to kidney disease. Some of the top nephrologists reside at DCR with scientific leadership holding over 80 years of experience in renal research.
As a part of DaVita, one of America’s foremost providers of dialysis services for those diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), DCR is committed to improving the health and well-being of kidney patients. In addition, our Early Clinical Research unit (Phase I-IIb) is focused on providing clinical research in complex/specialty populations and therapeutic areas.
DCR participates in DaVita-founded charities, such as the Kidney TRUST, to increase awareness of kidney disease through public education and testing programs, in addition to participating in community service activities in our local neighborhoods. One such community event is Tour DaVita™, a four-day, 250-mile bicycle tour through Michigan where DaVita employees and friends raise funds for the Kidney TRUST.
