In celebration of the 114th International Nurses Day, DaVita (Shandong) Sino-US Joint-Venture Hospital launched a series of cultural events themed “Our Nurses, Our Future.” Aligned with DaVita’s core values, these activities paid tribute to the exceptional contributions of the nursing team.

The DaVita Way means that we dedicate our Head, Heart and Hands to pursue the Mission, live the Values, and build a healthy Village. It means we care for each other with the same intensity with which we care for our patients.

May 12: Heartwarming Interactions & Customized Sweetness

On the afternoon of May 12, Mr. Zhang Xiaoyi, CEO of DaVita (Shandong), extended festive greetings and presented custom-made cakes to the nurses. Adding to the warmth, family members of a patient, Mr. Ji, arrived at the nursing station with carefully prepared bouquets to wish the “Nurse Angels” a happy holiday.

May 18: Team Building at the Ancient Canal City

Cultural Exploration: Dialogue Between History and Mission

On May 18, the nursing team strolled along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, immersing themselves in the harmonious blend of Dongchang Water City’s ancient charm and modern ecology. Amidst the historic complex of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Guild Hall, the Shanxi merchants' business philosophy of “Prioritizing Righteousness over Profit” resonated deeply with the Nightingale Pledge across time and space. This experience sparked profound reflections among the team on their professional values.

Fun & Engagement: Unwinding and Uniting

The day was filled with delightful activities, including exploring the ancient city north of the Yangtze River, ascending the Guangyue Tower for a panoramic view, and enjoying antiphonal singing while boating on Dongchang Lake. Laughter echoed along the canal, through ancient alleys, and across the waters, drawing teammates closer together and showcasing the unique cultural charm of DaVita’s Sino-US joint venture.

Cultural Integration for a Healthier Future

From the sweet interactions on May 12 to the vibrant team building by the canal, DaVita (Shandong) innovatively integrated DaVita’s core values into the Nurses Day celebrations, infusing the nursing team with sustainable momentum for “Fun.” Looking ahead, this team—combining professional excellence with a global vision—will continue to serve as a bridge of “Service Excellence,” injecting vitality into the “Healthy China” initiative and continuing their brilliant chapter of safeguarding lives.
