Licensed Practical Nurse

At Da Vita

DaVita Kidney Care is bringing our industry-leading clinical quality to patients on‑site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week, placing a significant burden on patients and adding avoidable costs to the health care system.

DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita offers, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line.

Ideal teammates have significant experience within DaVita, thrive in a start‑up type environment, improve the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to get things done. They are comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional resources across the Village.
