Company Overview
The name DaVita, meaning “to give life,” reflects our deep-rooted commitment to providing vital, life-sustaining dialysis care for individuals living with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). While we began as leaders in dialysis, our mission has evolved to encompass the full continuum of kidney care—working to reduce the serious and widespread impacts of kidney disease at every stage.
At DaVita, we prioritize community above all. We are more than just a healthcare company—we are a close-knit team that supports one another with the same compassion and dedication we show our patients. Our culture encourages every teammate to bring their whole selves to work, embracing their individuality, empathy, and purpose.
DaVita is currently seeking a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) to join our outpatient dialysis team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals living with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or chronic kidney disease. If you’re driven by purpose and looking to expand your skills in a rewarding, fast-paced environment, we invite you to consider a career in nephrology.
