The Opportunity:
This Nurse Practitioner will be the first hire. Starting a program requires flexibility and patience, but it affords the opportunity to play a pivotal role in
defining the initiative's clinical direction. You will have
direct access to top DaVita leaders to provide feedback on innovation and care redesign. It also means that, pending performance, there will be
future leadership opportunities as we scale the program.
Compensation:
The NP will receive a competitive base salary, but given the unique role of being a first hire, additional compensation will be provided for meeting pre-determined clinical milestones. This is an exciting opportunity to meaningfully share in the success of a new, high-impact initiative.
Role Specifics
Location: You will work from a portfolio of 3-8 DaVita dialysis centers within the Chesapeake/Norfolk, VA market.

- Coordinate patient follow-ups to proactively address patient concerns, including coordinating care with other providers, ordering key labs, and prescribing medication.
- Build clinical relationships with nephrologists, dialysis teammates, integrated care teammates, and local PCPs and specialists.
- Conduct annual comprehensive health evaluations.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of independent primary care practice
- License to practice autonomously
- DEA license and comfort in prescribing for chronic diseases typically associated with ESRD, such as congested heart failure.
- Experience with dialysis or nephrology (preferred, but not required)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Minimum of 5 years of clinical experience in Primary Care, Internal Medicine, or Gerontology.
- Demonstrated expertise in the management of chronic health conditions, including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, chronic respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD), and heart disease.
