DaVita Dialysis to close its doors

GRUNDY CENTER - On January 31, 2016, DaVita Dialysis in Grundy Center will close their doors to business.
Kevin Downey, Senior Manager of Communications at DaVita, said that the center has not been financially sustainable for some time, and that despite efforts, no alternatives remain.
The center’s 11 patients and two staff members were informed this month, and the company is working with neighboring dialysis centers to find treatment options for the local patients. With four dialysis centers within a 30-mile radius of Grundy Center, there are options available, and the company is working to schedule patient treatment times together so group transport can be arranged.
Downey said that the two staff members from Grundy have been offered the opportunity to remain DaVita team members, and be transferred to other centers.
