Description:

More than 240,000 Americans routinely endure the rigors of renal dialysis to treat end stage renal disease (ESRD) -- physically exhausting three-to-five-hour sessions three times a week -- at an annual federal government-funded cost of approximately $17.9 billion. Although the death rate of 67,000 individuals is significant, approximately 80,000 new patients are diagnosed with ESRD each year -- creating an urgent need for additional dialysis facilities to keep pace with the disease's proliferation.

Total Renal Care (now DaVita, Inc.), the nation's largest independent provider of kidney dialysis services, with nearly 500 owned and managed facilities in 52 states and the District of Columbia, wanted to build a 5,500 SF facility in tiny Batesville, IN, in the state's Southeastern corner. The 10-station center, which brings critical dialysis services to a rural community whose population is less than 5,000, includes one isolation unit and laboratory services.

Alter+Care helped the owner acquire the land, structure the financing and supervised the building's development.
