962 Norfolk Sq, Norfolk, Virginia, , United States of America

Join DaVita in revolutionizing primary care for ESKD patients:
Nurse Practitioner opportunity. Bonus available for achieving key clinical metrics, up to 60% of base salary.

DaVita is pioneering a new approach to primary care for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESKD) directly within our dialysis centers. We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Nurse Practitioner to be our founding NP, helping us build and shape this groundbreaking program.

It is estimated that 30-50% of patients with renal failure do not receive consistent primary care support, resulting in increased morbidity, hospitalizations, and mortality. This program will address the care barriers kidney patients face.

• Bringing care to the patient: deliver care in the dialysis unit where patients spend the most time; no additional patient transportation is required.
• Fostering seamless coordination: work with the nephrologist, dialysis teammates, and integrated care leaders to coordinate care.
• Coordinate patient follow-ups to proactively address concerns, including coordinating with other providers, ordering key labs, and prescribing medications.
• Build clinical relationships with nephrologists, dialysis teammates, integrated care teammates, and local PCPs and specialists.
• Conduct annual comprehensive health evaluations.

The Nurse Practitioner will be the first hire, starting a program that requires flexibility and patience and offers the opportunity to define the initiative's clinical direction. You will have direct access to top DaVita leaders to provide feedback on innovation and care redesign. Pending performance, there will be future leadership opportunities as we scale the program.

Location:

You will work from a portfolio of 3-8 DaVita dialysis centers within the Chesapeake/Norfolk, VA market.

Hours:

Your schedule will revolve around patient visits in the dialysis units, primarily between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. You will have clinical autonomy to determine which patients to see and when.

• 5+ years of independent primary care practice.
• License to practice autonomously.
• DEA license and comfort in prescribing for chronic diseases typically associated with ESRD (e.g., congestive heart failure).
• Experience with dialysis or nephrology is preferred but not required.

• Minimum of 5 years of clinical experience in Primary Care, Internal Medicine, or Gerontology.
• Demonstrated expertise in managing chronic health conditions (diabetes, hypertension, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disease).
• Proven experience in prescribing and managing medications (initiate, titrate, and monitor therapies such as insulin, antihypertensives, statins) in line with current guidelines.

The NP will receive a competitive base salary, with additional compensation for meeting predetermined clinical milestones. This is an opportunity to share in the success of a new, high-impact initiative.
