More about DaVita Kidney Care
DaVita refers to itself as a 'Village'—a community-first, company-second philosophy known as 'The DaVita Way.' The company has been named to Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies list for 15 consecutive years. Nursing roles at DaVita involve delivering life-sustaining dialysis therapies—including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, CRRT, and apheresis—to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney conditions. DaVita offers paid training for nurses with no prior dialysis experience, making it an entry point into nephrology nursing for RNs from various clinical backgrounds. Nurses may work in outpatient clinic settings or in hospital-based acute care programs, with schedules that include regular shifts, on-call rotations, weekends, and holidays.
DaVita's mission is 'To be the Provider, Partner, and Employer of Choice.' Their vision is 'The Unwavering Pursuit of a Healthier Tomorrow.' The organization operates on a 'Trilogy of Care' framework: Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other, and Caring for Our World. Core values include Service (exceeding expectations of patients, doctors, and teammates), Integrity (alignment between words and actions), and Team ('One for All and All for One'). 'The DaVita Way' calls on teammates to dedicate their Head, Heart, and Hands to pursue the mission and build a healthy Village.
