DaVita Kidney Care Welcomes Dr. John Wigneswaran

It is an honor to welcome Dr. John Wigneswaran to DaVita Kidney Care and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO). John will be joining us as vice president of clinical affairs for the hospital services group. In this role he will lead the ongoing work that has made DaVita Hospital Services the best in the industry, including receiving the only accreditation for such services from The Joint Commission. In addition, John will be working closely with our clinical operations team to evaluate new technology, equipment and pharmaceuticals. Finally, he will be working as an integral member of OCMO, bringing his expertise to discussions of current and future clinical initiatives, as well as working closely with Dr. Bob Provenzano and the OCMO team on developing innovative programs to enhance physician engagement.

John is uniquely qualified to contribute substantially to these efforts at DaVita Kidney Care. In addition to holding an MD degree, he is completing his work toward an MBA at MIT. Further, he has founded Nephroceuticals, an organization focusing on the nutritional needs of kidney and cardiac patients. His broad range of interests, knowledge and accomplishments will make him an incredible resource to DaVita Kidney Care, its patients and its physicians. John is a remarkably committed individual who can blend clinical knowledge and skills with a warm, compassionate personality and complete alignment with our Mission and Values.

We are truly delighted to be able to welcome him to the Village!
