Empowering Through Nutritional Therapy

As a registered dietitian (RD) at DaVita, you will be an integral part of our patients’ care team. You will provide individualized nutrition counseling to help patients manage their kidney health by educating them about nutritional health, dietary needs as well as planning and making meal recommendations to help balance their nutrition.

You will work directly with patients and their care partners to monitor overall nutritional health with an individualized eating plan that addresses specific health concerns based on their lab values. You will have a key role in guiding patients with food choices, reading labels and meal preparation to promote nutrition goals. You will also provide tools while making eating an enjoyable experience, with respect and consideration of their cultural preferences.

Work That Fits Your Lifestyle
There are a lot of choices for how you can focus your career at DaVita, with career path options that fit different lifestyles:
In-Center Hemodialysis
The RD completes nutritional assessments and evaluates nutrition and fluid related trends for patients that receive dialysis at a clinic. They collaborate closely with the Interdisciplinary Team and educates the patients. They are also the Manager of Mineral and Bone Disorder in the facility and manage physician approved protocols. Our RDs use Motivational Interviewing to support patients in making positive behavior changes to better their health.
Home Dialysis
Some dialysis patients don’t get hemodialysis in a center but perform peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HHD) at home. While many of the responsibilities of the PD and HHD RDs are the same as in-center hemodialysis RDs, there are some differences.

It is essential for patients to gain understanding of the differences in the renal diet and fluid limit for home dialysis.
Skilled Nursing Facility
In addition to in center hemodialysis and home dialysis responsibilities, the RD communicates, collaborates and coordinates care with the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) team to support nutrition-related goals. They will provide periodic education and training to the SNF team on renal nutrition and fluid management.
