About The Position

The primary work location is on site at DaVita SNF Dialysis at Fenton (512 Beach St, Fenton, MI, 48430). The CCHT may be asked to support other DaVita SNF dialysis den locations.

DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line. Ideal teammates will have significant experience within DaVita, get energized by a start-up type environment and improving the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to GSD. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village. In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track.
