Greetings, my name is Kent Thiry and I’m the CEO of DaVita and very exited to be speaking to you today. I’m looking forward to the fact that soon I’ll get to be in a room live with each and every one of you at some point as the next several months go by. But I didn’t want any more days to go by without personally welcoming you to DaVita Health Care Partners and wanted to convey just how incredibly excited we are about joining forces with you. We’re excited because we love what you do for patients and for the American taxpayer – higher quality care, more convenient care, more accessible care, more thoughtful care and all at a lower cost for all the payers in America.
We love the alignment that we feel with our mission and values and yours and we love the fact that lots of people across America say you are the best at what you do; and for all of you who have been at Health Care Partners for awhile, you should be so proud in the number of people in the government and the private sector from all across America who point to you as the leader and role model in that sphere of integrated care for entire populations. DaVita shares that vision and passion for integrated care. We do it just for kidney care patients, although I don’t mean just in any kind of small way, we’re incredibly proud of what we have done there to improve kidney care in America and we, like you, want to bring the gift of integrated care to every single patient in America whether commercial or Medicare.
So, once again, I look forward to being in a room live with each and every one of you in the months to come. I want to welcome you to DaVita Health Care Partners. And hopefully together we can create a special place to work and if we do that, we can do special things for patients and the world.
Take care and thank you.
