DENVER — Thousands of DaVita HealthCare workers took on a massive project to help amputees and landmine survivors on Saturday.
From 9 a.m. to noon, the Colorado Convention Center was filled with teammates from all over the world helping to assemble more than 1,400 prosthetic hands for amputees and landmine survivors in 67 developing countries.
“We’re really about helping human beings and at the end of the day, this is another way of giving back,” said Javier Rodriguez, president of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.
Together with the Odyssey Teams “Helping Hands” program, workers also hoped to set the Guinness Book of World Records for most prosthetic hands assembled.
