This past year has proven to be one of clinical and operational enhancements as we prepare our company for a 'bundled payment environment' that will begin in 2011. Between our facility-wide rollout of a new electronic, clinical and billing system, and our furthering of the relationship we have established with the University of Cincinnati via a commitment to research on behalf of patients with kidney failure, DCA is continuing to be well situated as a leader within our industry. Additionally, we developed two new centers in Ohio, and integrated a new center in Maryland that was purchased at the end of 2008. Our committed staff of exceptional caregivers, administrative personnel, and physicians have positioned DCA for continued growth and success throughout 2010."
