I've heard a new dialysis company called Liberty Dialysis has been taking away staff from around here.  I was wondering if anybody knew much about them?

It does sound like they have been giving DaVita fits:

Plugger,

I go to Davita's Pike's Peak Dialysis in Colorado Springs about twice a year when I visit my sister in Manitou Springs.

I noticed a Liberty Dialysis built and now in operation right across the parking lot from Davita (talk about in your face competition!

I have always been most happy at Pike's Peak, staff is super nice, they come by to visit whenever I'm leashed up.

Sounds like some of the doctors there are none too happy:

"In their countersuit, filed in April, Pikes Peak doctors say DaVita's "cost-cutting measures and administrative bureaucracy" were taking precedence over patient care. The doctors say they were concerned about the centers' staff's overuse of the anti-anemia drug Epogen, plus poor wages and working conditions for nurses."

Guess I have to wonder if Liberty is doing better?

Just curious about the new kid on the block.
