-- DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA), a leading provider of kidney care

integral part of managing chronic kidney disease and ensuring
overall health and quality of life for kidney patients. Because
their kidneys can no longer filter and eliminate waste products and
excess fluid, kidney patients' diets are focused on maintaining
adequate nutrition and keeping minerals and electrolytes in
balance. The recipes available at DaVita.com are labeled and easy
to distinguish for the unique condition of the user - CKD
non-dialysis, Dialysis and Diabetes. Living with CKD for more than
two years, Terry Dalme of Sparks, NV has found the recipe section
on DaVita.com to be a useful resource for managing a
kidney-friendly diet and lifestyle. Food has always been a
difficult issue for him, as with most people on a restricted kidney
diet. There is a plethora of kidney-friendly recipe options to plan
and make a healthy Father's Day dinner without sacrificing flavor.
Dalme took charge of his diet through recipes available on
DaVita.com and with the assistance and guidance of Christie
Giordano, dietitian at DaVita Sparks Dialysis Center. "Terry is the
cook in the family, and the kidney-friendly diet recipes have made
a positive impact on his health," Giordano said. "DaVita's ongoing
education and specialized training for dietitians and their
teammates help ensure that patients receive consistently
high-quality care so they can live healthier lives." "The recipes
are very tasty and I never feel deprived of my favorite foods - you
truly can modify any dish to meet your kidney diet needs," Dalme
said. "The site is extremely user-friendly - it's easy to navigate
and new recipes are added every week. I look forward to my Father's
Day dinner with my family, knowing that everyone will be satisfied
with time spent with family and good food." Dalme's favorite
recipes on DaVita.com are Jambalaya with Rice, Shrimp Quesadilla
and the Easy Low-Phosphorus Fudge. All are low in sodium, potassium
and phosphorus, making them a great choice for nearly anyone with
kidney disease. More than 18,000 registered users receive Recipe
Alerts, a monthly email featuring newly posted recipes at
DaVita.com. The site also offers DaVita Diet Helper(TM) - an
interactive online tool to create customized diet plans. DaVita(R)
