Inside Shaker

Honored to the core

DaVita, Shaker client and the nation’s largest independent kidney care provider, takes seriously its core values—so seriously, in fact, that these values are used to drive, assess, and reward behavior.

• Service Excellence
• Integrity
• Team
• Continuous Improvement
• Accountability
• Fulfillment
• Fun

The Core Value Awards are bestowed upon DaVita teammates who exemplify a particular value to the nth degree. Among the highest accolades that can be earned at DaVita, these awards are conferred after an extensive nomination and review process.

That is why Shaker was so very honored when our DaVita partners presented their Shaker teammates with a "Team" pin, representing that Core Value, in appreciation for our collaboration and high level of service—and, as they told us, "for making them look so good."

We, at Shaker, take tremendous pride in our service, and in fostering relationships built on trust. Our clients’ success is our success—and our great joy.

Thank you, DaVita.

And thanks to all of our clients who honor us through your partnership.
