What does the bridge means &
why is it important?
The bridge refers to our teammate committedness – it is about the head part of the DaVita Way.
Every day, every moment, our teammates makes the choice to either wait and see and let others create a special place, or they just do it.
The bridge crossed over by our teammates reflects an opportunity to creating a special between teammates, patients and the community.

These awards are the highest honor, teammates can receive in the Village. The winners of these award categories truly live and embody the core values in all that they do at their clinics, offices and in their lives.
