Testimonials
From Community Members
When I saw the news story about free health screenings, I knew I had to bring my whole family. We lost our insurance and haven’t been able to see a doctor in over a year.

It’s important to have these kinds of things because people don’t always have access or make time to go to the doctor. But if you got this, at least it gives you something to take back to your primary care. I’m so glad DaVita is here doing this for us.

It’s so important to know your numbers. As someone living with diabetes and other health conditions, I hadn’t had a kidney screening before, so I was really glad to get one for free today.
Community Member
Houston
It’s been really insightful. My family does have a history of diabetes and kidney disease so I wanted to get checked out. Understanding what diabetics have to go through, I want to avoid that.
