NOVI, Mich. – The DaVita Dialysis Center in Novi is closed after a patient was found dead, and multiple others are hospitalized, following recently receiving treatment at the center, police said.

The investigation began on June 21 after Novi police officers received a report of a missing person, a 71-year-old patient who was last seen earlier that day at the DaVita Novi Dialysis Center, located near Grand River Avenue and Beck Road.

Family members were concerned when the patient failed to return home following their appointment. When officers arrived at the dialysis center, they found the patient dead inside a car. Police said there was no indication of foul play.

Novi police contacted emergency personnel at Henry Ford Providence Novi Hospital and learned that several patients who had recently received treatment at the DaVita Novi Dialysis Center had sought medical care.

Four patients were identified at the hospital, including one who is in the intensive care unit. A fifth patient was also hospitalized following treatment at a DaVita Southfield location.

According to police, investigators have not established any connection between the illnesses or the death and treatment received at DaVita Dialysis.

The DaVita Novi Dialysis Center is closed at the request of the Oakland County Health Division as a precautionary measure, as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information related to the investigation is asked to contact the Novi Police Department at 248-348-7100.
