As of November 19, 1997, Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. owns and
operates 194 free-standing kidney dialysis
centers and home peritoneal dialysis programs in 18 states as well as Washington, D.C.,
Puerto Rico, Guam and Europe, serving approximately 14,900 patients. TRC also
provides acute hemodialysis services to in-patients at 119 hospitals. The company
operates ESRD laboratory and pharmacy facilities as well as vascular access management,
transplant services and ESRD clinical research programs.
TRC's aggressive and disciplined growth strategy is to :
1. develop strong regional clusters of facilities in specific
markets through acquisitions, de Novo developments and hospital
alliances;
2. use a strong local and regional presence to develop unique
partnerships with managed care organizations and our affiliated
physicians;
3. focus on Quality Management, Clinical Information Systems and
other clinical programs to provide the highest quality care, making
TRC the quality leader in the industry; and
4. successfully expand its range of ancillary services to provide
"total renal care", which now includes ESRD laboratory, ESRD oral
pharmacy, vascular access management and pre/post-transplant management
services.
The Company began implementing this strategy after an August 1994
restructuring, and through May 31, 1997, has added 128 facilities,
including 66 during fiscal 1996.
TRC's management team is led by Victor M.G. Chaltiel, who has
30 years of health care experience, including 18 years with Baxter
International, where he was instrumental in the development and
worldwide commercialization of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal
Dialysis, the principal modality for home dialysis.
