About The Position

DaVita is looking for a Registered Dietitian (RD) to help educate our dialysis patients and their families. This role requires a licensed RD within DaVita to provide oversight support monthly. In this role, the dietitian will work with our patients at our Ashtabula Dialysis and our North Ridge Dialysis in Madison. A typical day for a dietitian would involve reviewing monthly lab work with patients and educating them on dietary and medication changes to improve their outcomes. The dietitian also completes nutrition assessments for patients and may also attend patient rounds with their nephrologist. Use your natural gift of education and persuasion to help patients understand that what they eat directly affects their lab levels. As a vital member of each patient's core care team, you will analyze lab-work results and educate patients-and their families-on what to eat accordingly. Your ability to influence and lead will be critical to helping them live better lives. If you love patient-centered health care with real relationships inside a company that encourages fun on and off the clock, then DaVita is the place for you.
