DAVITA LABS

DaVita Labs, a diagnostic laboratory in DeLands Northwest Industrial Business Park, donated two sets of industrial-grade washers and dryers to the DeLand Fire Department to help with thoroughly cleaning firefighters gear of cancer-causing contaminants. DELAND Cleaning firefighters gear isnt your typical load of laundry. DeLand firefighters will now be able to clean their gear more efficiently after DaVita Labs donated two sets of barely-used industrial-grade washers and dryers. Laura Chorost, the environmental, health and safety administrator for DaVita Labs, knows all too well what firefighters face she previously served as a lieutenant with Volusia County fire. The donation is also a cost savings to the city, as these industrial-grade machines usually cost between $5,000 to $10,000 each.
