DENVER - DaVita Clinical Research, a provider of clinical research services focused on kidney research and other specialty therapeutic populations, reported a string of accomplishments in the year about to end.

"Davita Clinical research experienced a very strong year in 2012," said Dr. Mahesh Krishnan, company vice president.

"From expanding our research capabilities to producing innovative studies with results to drive better clinical outcomes, we're making strides to improve the quality of life for chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease patients around the world."

DaVita opened a new 35,000-square-foot research facility in Lakewood attached to St. Anthony Hospital with 80 beds, bringing more than 50 specialized research jobs to the area.

Researchers from DCR and DaVita, the dialysis division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc., presented results from a number of innovative clinical improvement programs and health economic studies at three major health care meetings in 2012.

The company also enhanced its social media presence in 2012 with a re-launched Facebook page and joined the Twitter community as @DCRDenver.
