In November 2017, it was reported that DaVita Medical Group's parent company was exploring a sale for the subsidiary.[13] That same month, the company acquired Northwest Physicians Network, a Tacoma, Washington-based physician association with more than 1,000 primary and specialty-care physicians.[14]
