DaVita Mobilizes Emergency Dialysis Protocols for Hurricane Isaias
As Hurricane Isaias barrels toward the Gulf Coast, DaVita has triggered its emergency response protocols to safeguard life-sustaining dialysis treatments. The healthcare provider is coordinating with local centers and emergency agencies to mitigate potential service interruptions and ensure patients remain connected to care throughout the severe weather event.
Patients in the path of the storm are urged to verify their treatment appointments immediately and maintain an emergency kit containing at least three days of medications and specific medical supplies. Those requiring assistance with scheduling or facility locations should contact DaVita Guest Services at 1-800-400-8331. For those managing complex conditions like diabetes, the company advises keeping a full week of supplies on hand, alongside a printed list of dosages and provider contact information.
