DaVita SNF Dialysis (DSD) is a unique opportunity to do good and do well. We are leading the expansion of a new, but proven, business model transforming how life-sustaining care is delivered to one of the most vulnerable patient populations which is reaching only a small fraction of the patient population in need.

DSD is a new and growing service line that seeks to set the gold standard for care in this evolving care innovation. On-site dialysis eliminates the costly and potentially dangerous process of transporting patients off-site 3 times a week for dialysis care, which directly improves patient experience and quality of life and has the potential to improve clinical outcomes while reducing the total cost – a true triple aim solution. DSD is transforming how life-sustaining care is delivered to the most vulnerable of dialysis patients, and we are seeking a dynamic business development leader to help bring our life-improving solution to more patients and partners.
