ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Sept. 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lutheran Home, part of Lutheran Life Communities, has begun construction on a new state-of-the-art DaVita Dialysis Den on its Arlington Heights campus. The new six-chair facility, built in partnership with DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), will bring life-sustaining kidney care directly to Lutheran Home residents and, later, to the surrounding community. The center is scheduled to open on January 1, 2026, for residents and will welcome the broader public later in the year.

Dialysis is a critical treatment that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform those functions effectively. By offering dialysis on campus, Lutheran Home will eliminate the need for time-consuming transportation to off-site clinics, improving comfort, convenience, and quality of life for residents.
“This project represents our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive, on-site healthcare that supports our residents’ dignity and independence,” said Jennifer Darnell, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Lutheran Life Communities. “Partnering with DaVita, a leader in kidney care, allows us to provide best-in-class dialysis treatment right here at home.”
“We bring 20 years of experience as a leading kidney care provider,” said Dan Viaches, president of DaVita SNF Dialysis. “We appreciate that Lutheran Home trusts us to deliver high-quality care to the patients they serve.”
