DENVER, April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita Kidney Care recently announced its plans to hire at least 15,000 new employees, known as teammates, throughout 2020. Available positions range from care giving roles in centers across the U.S. to corporate support roles. For many of these open positions, previous experience in health care is not required.

"We have a continuous demand for great teammates," said Kenny Gardner, chief people officer for DaVita Kidney Care. "DaVita is a special place to work, and we invite people looking for new opportunities, even candidates without prior health care experience, to consider us. We pride ourselves on being a prominent destination for training new entrants into health care.

DaVita's unique corporate culture and intentionality toward delivering quality patient care while creating an exceptional experience in its centers and offices has created a loyal teammate community. In fact, over 1,000 former teammates recently raised their hands to come back to work to serve DaVita patients amid the COVID-19 crisis.

For DaVita, supporting its teammates and their sense of belonging is a priority. DaVita's goal is to embed diversity and belonging practices into everything it does. This means embedding diversity in its recruiting and talent development processes and embedding belonging in ways that impact how teammates experience their workplace and team each and every day.

DaVita prides itself on offering more than standard benefits and compensation packages. In 2018, DaVita changed its benefits package to DaVita Rewards, which connects teammates with resources to help them with health care coverage, retirement planning, opportunities for career development and overall well-being resources for themselves and their families.

DaVita's innovative culture and drive to change health care has earned the company recognition and awards, including Fortune World's Most Admired Companies list, Training Magazine's Top 125 and WorldBlu's Most Freedom Centered Workplaces.
