DaVita Kidney Care is bringing our industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week, creating significant burden and avoidable costs. DSD Services teammates will have access to all DaVita capabilities and resources to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow this service line.

Ideal teammates will have experience in dialysis, thrive in a start-up environment, and have a track record of getting things done. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and collaborating with cross-functional resources across the organization.

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. DSD RNs will troubleshoot and make sound decisions for patients related to their dialysis treatment and may partner with SNF staff to coordinate care.
