About Davita Inc.

DaVita Inc. is a major healthcare player focusing on kidney care and dialysis services. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, DaVita operates one of the largest networks of outpatient dialysis centers in the United States, serving hundreds of thousands of patients with chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

What Happened?

On April 12, 2025, DaVita Inc. discovered a ransomware incident that encrypted certain elements of its network. Upon learning of the breach, DaVita activated its response protocols, isolated affected systems, and began working with third-party cybersecurity professionals. Law enforcement was also notified about the incident.

While DaVita has implemented contingency plans to continue providing patient care, the breach has disrupted some operations. The full scope and impact of the incident are still under investigation. At this time, DaVita has not disclosed the specific types of consumer information that were exposed in the breach.

Your Rights and Next Steps

Even if the company has not yet confirmed the exact data that was accessed or stolen, it is important to stay vigilant.

  • Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity.
  • Watch for suspicious emails, phone calls, or letters that could indicate identity theft or phishing attempts.
