THE COMPANY

We are a leading provider of kidney dialysis services in the United States for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end stage renal disease, or ESRD. ESRD is the stage of advanced kidney impairment that requires continued dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant to sustain life. Dialysis is the removal of toxins, fluids and salts from the blood of ESRD patients by artificial means. As of June 30, 2010, we provided dialysis services in the United States through a network of 1,582 outpatient dialysis centers located in 42 states and the District of Columbia, serving approximately 122,000 patients. Our centers offer outpatient hemodialysis treatments and other ESRD-related services such as the administration of physician-prescribed pharmaceuticals, including erythropoietin, or EPO, vitamin D analogs and iron supplements. We also provide services for home dialysis patients, vascular access, disease management services and laboratory services related to ESRD. As of June 30, 2010, we also provided acute inpatient dialysis services in 714 hospitals.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1551 Wewatta Street, Denver, CO 80202, and our telephone number is (303) 405-2100.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our debt securities involves significant risks. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference herein from our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, as updated by subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could be adversely affected by any of these risks.

The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we deem immaterial may also impair our business or operations. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could result in a decline in the value of the debt securities and the loss of all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities to which this prospectus relates will be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include repayment of debt, acquisitions, additions to working capital, capital expenditures and investments in our subsidiaries. Net proceeds may be temporarily invested prior to use.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

Our ratios of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods indicated are set forth below. The information set forth below should be read together with the financial statements and the accompanying notes incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2010	Year Ended December 31,
	Six Months Ended June 30, 2010	2009	2008	2007	2006	2005
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (1)	3.74	3.58	3.01	2.92	2.38	2.86

(1)

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings for this purpose is defined as pretax income from continuing operations adjusted by adding back fixed charges expensed during the period less pre-tax net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Fixed charges include debt expense (interest expense and the amortization of deferred financing costs), the estimated interest component of rent expense on operating leases, and capitalized interest.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The debt securities will be our direct unsecured general obligations and will be senior debt securities, which will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior debt. The debt securities will be issued under one or more separate indentures between us and a designated trustee. We will include in a prospectus supplement the specific terms of each series of senior debt securities being offered. In addition, the material terms of any indenture, which will govern the rights of the holders of our senior debt securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES

One or more registrants may issue from time to time guarantees for the benefit of holders of our debt securities. Any such guarantees will, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, include the following terms and conditions, plus any additional terms specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

A guarantee will provide that the guarantor unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest (if any), premium (if any) and all other amounts due under the applicable debt securities when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to mandatory or optional repayments, by acceleration or otherwise, in each case after any applicable grace periods or notice requirements, according to the terms of the applicable underlying securities. Any guarantee shall be unconditional irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the applicable underlying security, any change or amendment thereto or any other circumstances that may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. However, the guarantors will not waive presentment or demand of payment or notice with respect to the applicable underlying security unless otherwise provided in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus in any of the following ways:

•

directly to one or more purchasers;

•

through underwriters, dealers or agents; or

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, Kim M. Rivera, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and Sidley Austin LLP, San Francisco, California, special counsel to the Company, will pass upon certain legal matters for us with respect to the securities. Ms. Rivera participates in various employee benefit plans offered by DaVita and as of June 30, 2010 owned 5,000 restricted stock units (none of which were vested) and 60,000 stock-settled stock appreciation rights (none of which were vested).

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14.

Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

An estimate of the various expenses in connection with the sale and distribution of the debt securities being offered will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person against expenses, judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which such person is involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, provided that (i) such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. If the action or suit is by or in the name of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit is brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.

Article IX, Section 1 of the Company’s By-Laws provides for indemnification of persons to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

In accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, limits the personal liability of its directors for violations of their fiduciary duty. The Certificate of Incorporation eliminates each director’s liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence. This provision will not, however, limit in any way the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws.

From time to time, the Company has entered into and may enter into employment agreements or indemnification agreements pursuant to which the Company agrees to indemnify some of its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law.

The directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured under certain insurance policies against claims made during the period of the policies against liabilities arising out of claims for certain acts in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The following is a summary of the statutes, charter and bylaw provisions or other arrangements under which the Registrants’ directors and officers are insured or indemnified against liability in their capacities as such. All

II-1

of the directors and officers of the Registrants are covered by insurance policies maintained and held in effect by DaVita Inc. against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Registrants incorporated under California Law

DVA Healthcare Procurement Services, Inc., Total Renal Care, Inc. and The DaVita Collection, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the State of California.

The Tennessee Statute also provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to a director or officer, no indemnification may be made if such director or officer is adjudged liable on the basis that such personal benefit was improperly received. In cases where the director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instigated because of his or her status as a director or officer of a corporation, the Tennessee Statute mandates that the corporation, unless limited by its charter, indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. Pursuant to the Tennessee Statute, unless the corporation’s charter provides otherwise, a court may order that a director or officer be indemnified if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, notwithstanding the fact that (i) such director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation; (ii) such director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her; or (iii) such director or officer failed to meet the standards of conduct set forth in (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. If the director or officer was adjudged liable as described in (i) or (ii) above, then such indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred.

The Bylaws also provide that DVA Renal Healthcare, Inc. shall indemnify each director or officer in any proceeding brought by or in the right of DVA Renal Healthcare, Inc. against such director or officer by reason of such status against all expenses reasonably incurred if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of DVA Renal Healthcare, Inc. and with due care, including reasonable inquiry, provided that no such indemnification shall be made (i) where such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to DVA Renal Healthcare, Inc. unless the court shall determine that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, or (ii) for amounts paid in settlement without DVA Renal Healthcare, Inc.’s consent and related expenses.

Registrant incorporated under Texas Law

Dialysis Specialists of Dallas, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas. Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the “Texas Statute”) provides that a Texas corporation may indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director only if it is determined that the person: (a) conducted himself or herself in good faith; (b) reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity as a director of the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and (ii) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Texas corporation is not permitted to indemnify a director in respect of a proceeding: (a) in which the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person’s official capacity; or (b) in which the person is found liable to the corporation. A person may be indemnified against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding; but if the person is found liable to the corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person, the indemnification (1) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding and (2) shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. Where a director is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding referred to above, the Corporation must indemnify such director against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her. The Texas Statute further authorizes a Texas corporation to indemnify an officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director.

In addition, Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Statute authorizes a Texas corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, employee benefit plan, other enterprise, or other entity, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against that liability under the Texas Statute.

Article Nine of the Articles of Incorporation of Dialysis Specialists of Dallas, Inc. provides that Dialysis Specialists of Dallas, Inc. shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Texas.

Registrants incorporated under Virginia Law

Continental Dialysis Center of Springfield-Fairfax, Inc., Continental Dialysis Centers, Inc. and East End Dialysis Center, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the state of Virginia. Section 697 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “Virginia Statute”) provides that a Virginia corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (a) the individual conducted himself in good faith; and (b) the individual believed: (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in its best interests; and (ii) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Virginia corporation is not permitted to indemnify a director under this section: (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (b) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, in which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her. Indemnification permitted under the Virginia Statute in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify a director who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her. With respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the court may (i) order indemnification of the director to the extent of his or her reasonable expenses if it determines that, considering all the relevant circumstances, the director is entitled to indemnification even though he or she was adjudged liable to the corporation and (ii) also order the corporation to pay the director’s reasonable expenses incurred to obtain the order of indemnification. The Virginia Statute further authorizes a Virginia corporation to indemnify an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director.

In addition, Section 703 of the Virginia Statute authorizes a Virginia corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against liability asserted against or incurred by him or her in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee, or agent, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify him or her against the same liability under the Virginia Statute.

Article V, Section 6 of the Bylaws of East End Dialysis Center, Inc. provides that East End Dialysis Center, Inc. shall indemnify, as permitted by law each former, current and future director, officer, agent and employee and each person who may now or later serve at East End Dialysis Center, Inc.’s request as a director, officer, agent or employee of another corporation or other business enterprise against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred or imposes in connection with the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by reason of being or having been such director, officer, agent or employee, except where such person shall be finally adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duty. Such person is fully protected if he relied on the written opinion of counsel selected by, or in the manner designated by, the Board of Directors of East End Dialysis Center, Inc. The Bylaws further provide that East End Dialysis Center, Inc. may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an agent of East End Dialysis Center, Inc. or is or was serving at East End Dialysis Center, Inc.’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of their corporate status, regardless of whether East End Dialysis Center, Inc. would have the power to indemnify against such liability under the provisions of the Bylaws.

Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)

II-20

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be sellers to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;

(iii)

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and

(iv)

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of

II-21

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
