Since 2010, DaVita has hired over 3,000 veterans, offering
transitional support for teammates with a military background. The
hires vary from patient care technicians to the organization's
chief development officer. In that same time frame, DaVita has
received 28 awards for exceptional recruiting outreach in the
veteran community. In 2013, DaVita was honored to receive the
Freedom Award from the Department of Defense, the highest
recognition given to employers for exceptional support of Guard and
Reserve employees.
"We are privileged to have many veterans, current members of the
Guard and Reserve, and military spouses as part of the DaVita
community," said Kent Thiry,
chairman and CEO of DaVita. "Our teammates from the armed forces
share our core values and we look forward to growing their presence
in the Village through this hiring initiative."
DaVita cares for active service men and women and strives to
provide assistance to our veterans as they transition from life in
the military to life as teammates in the Village. Workshops and
development courses are offered to help foster a stronger community
for new veteran teammates.
The Veterans 2 Village (V2V) is a two-day class introduced in
2016 that focuses on self-development and introduces new veteran
teammates to DaVita's existing military programs and benefits.
Veteran Guides help facilitate the V2V live course. DaVita's
internal veterans' programs are designed to foster a stronger
community for new veteran teammates, as the company's support
services continue to develop and grow.
