DENVER, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- DaVita Kidney Care, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) and a leading provider of kidney care services, today announced that the company has named Martin Schreiber, M.D., as its new vice president of clinical affairs for home modalities. DaVita's home hemodialysis (HHD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) programs currently serve more patients than any other HHD or PD program in the United States. "I believe that every patient deserves to be educated on their modality options and to have a choice in their dialysis care," said Dr. Schreiber. "While home dialysis may not be right for everyone, we recognize that many patients could benefit from more frequent dialysis and enjoy a higher quality of life with the option of a home modality." With nearly 40 years of experience in nephrology, Dr. Schreiber has worked primarily with Cleveland Clinic and held a number of key positions there, including chairman of the Department of Nephrology and Hypertension and the director of home dialysis. Additionally, he is an active educator and international lecturer with ongoing editorial responsibilities with the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, American Journal of Kidney Disease and Peritoneal Dialysis International. "DaVita's mission is to be the provider and partner of choice," said DaVita Kidney Care CEO Javier Rodriguez. "To achieve this mission, we recruit top clinical leaders, like Dr. Schreiber. His commitment to continuous improvement in kidney care and role as an advocate for home dialysis are a great fit for the DaVita Village." "Dr. Schreiber has been a leader in nephrology and patient-centric kidney care for over two decades," said DaVita Kidney Care's Chief Medical Officer Allen R. Nissenson, M.D. "His experience, compassion, and understanding of the needs of patients and physicians make him a unique and outstanding additional to DaVita's physician leadership team." DaVita's home dialysis program boasts innovation in PD fluid management protocols, as well as in PD and HHD patient training. On average, patients in DaVita's PD program experience peritonitis less than once every four years. The program also hosts recurring, company-wide patient modality education initiatives.
