NOVI, Mich. – The DaVita dialysis center in Novi will reopen following an investigation into the death of a patient and reports of illnesses.

The center will reopen to patients on Thursday, July 2, after a precautionary closure by state and local health officials.

“We are proud to serve the Novi community, and the safety and well-being of our patients remain our highest priority. During the temporary closure, multiple third-party entities conducted comprehensive evaluations of center operations, including biomedical equipment reviews and water quality testing. Those reviews are complete and found no issues with the center’s systems or operations. We are confident in the care provided at our center and in our ability to continue delivering safe, high-quality treatment. 

Throughout the temporary closure, all impacted patients continued receiving uninterrupted, life-sustaining dialysis care at nearby DaVita centers."
