The undersigned, Michael D. Staffieri (the "Filer"), hereby constitutes
and appoints each of James K. Hilger, Kathleen A. Waters, Arturo Sida
and Lisa H. Kwon, any of them signing singly and with full power of
substitution, as Filer's true and lawful attorneys-in-fact (each
hereinafter referred to as "Attorney-in-Fact") to:

1. prepare, execute in Filer's name and behalf, and submit to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID application,
including any amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or
appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling Filer to make
electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

2. execute for and on behalf of Filer, in Filer's capacity as a member of
the Board of Directors and/or an executive officer of DaVita HealthCare
Partners Inc. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5, including any amendments
thereto (the "Forms"), in accordance with the Exchange Act, or any rule or
regulation of the SEC;

3. do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of Filer which may be
necessary or desirable to complete the execution of any Forms, and timely
file them with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

4. take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of the Attorney-in-Fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, Filer, it being
understood that the documents executed by such Attorney-in-Fact on behalf
of Filer pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such Attorney-in-Fact may approve in
their discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority
to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Filer
might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or
revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such Attorney-in-Fact,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney
and the rights and powers herein granted.

Filer acknowledges that Attorney-in-Fact, in serving in such capacity at the
request of Filer, is not assuming any of Filer's responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

This Power of Attorney shall be effective on the date set forth below and
shall continue in full force and effect until the date on which Filer is no
longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to Filer's holdings of
and transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked
by Filer in a signed writing delivered to Attorney-in-Fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Filer has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as
of the 15th day of July, 2016.
