January 2026 marks one year since Eaton Canyon wildfires swept across the Los Angeles area of California, leaving a trail of destruction and uncertainty in their wake. Amid the chaos of the fires, the importance of reliable and continuous healthcare became clear, especially for people relying on life-sustaining treatments like dialysis.

For DaVita, the commitment to patients and teammates (employees) never wavered. When the fires threatened communities, DaVita teams at the local and national level jumped into action to help patients receive uninterrupted care. This commitment included securing alternative treatment locations, providing resources and emotional support and coordinating transportation during a stressful time.

“We just started to think about, okay, what makes good sense in order to get patients treated the next day,” Mona Marin, group facility administrator for DaVita, says.

The fires tested the resilience of the healthcare system and also highlighted the strength and compassion within the community. Stories emerged of teammates supporting patients’ well-being. These acts of unwavering support are a testament to the bonds built withing the healthcare experience — and strengthened in the face of adversity.

“Patients really realized how much the team cared,” Marin shares.

Twenty-five DaVita patients had their homes affected by the fires. This included Emily Thomas, who is a peritoneal dialysis patient. When she lost her home, her DaVita care team made sure she had access to the care she needed in an environment where she found empathy and strength. As Thomas and her family continue to rebuild, she continues to receive the kidney care she needs in center.

Leaning into their support, Thomas now shares that her care team has started to feel like family and a source of comfort. She says:

“In the face of disasters, you find out who people really are, and that’s what gives you hope.”

Maintaining optimal functionality isn’t just good practice – it’s essential for reducing excess carbon and ensuring reliable performance and durability of your equipment. That is the core benefit of Planned Equipment Maintenance, and it’s a concept aligned with Cummins’ broader sustainability goals and growth strategy in Destination Zero. 

Cummins Planned Equipment Maintenance (PEM) is designed to keep gensets running as their best throughout their lifecycle and ready to start when needed most. By servicing at planned intervals and leveraging advanced diagnostics tools, Cummins technicians can anticipate needs, improve efficiency and extend equipment life.

“Planned Equipment Maintenance agreements play a critical role in delivering reliable power solutions and aftermarket support, while supporting initiatives such as Destination Zero,” say Corey Bryant and Travis Neely, PEM Sales Directors for Southern and Western US. “Our expert technical service is equipped with the latest digital diagnostic tools, so we can anticipate and be more efficient during service visits at customer facilities, while also monitoring that the gensets are operating at their best in terms of efficiency.”

With state-of-the-art technology and expertise, Cummins technicians can service gensets of all makes and models under PEM agreements at planned, critical intervals, extending their lifespan and enhancing performance. 

Anticipating major milestones in equipment needs across its lifespan ensures that equipment continues to function correctly and optimally for its natural life. Taking care of what you have today ensures it keeps working tomorrow, reducing overconsumption and supporting sustainability efforts.

But that’s just the start. Planned Equipment Maintenance will soon expand its service portfolio to include alternative fuels and power sources, such as EV charging solutions. Because how you maintain your equipment makes all the difference in achieving a cleaner and more efficient future.
