DENVER, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita
HealthCare Partners (NYSE: DVA), a leading independent medical
group and a leading provider of kidney care services in
the United States, today announced
that the company was recognized as a 2016 Top Workplace by The
Denver Post. This is the fifth consecutive year the company has
appeared on the list.
"We selected Denver as our home
because we align with the local values of civic engagement and the
great quality of life," said Javier
Rodriguez, CEO of DaVita Kidney
Care. "We are thrilled with the local team's passion
and energy to make our work environment unique and special."
Top Workplaces are determined based solely on teammate feedback.
The survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading
research firm on organizational health and teammate engagement.
DaVita strives to build a values-based environment that cares
for patients, supports teammates and engages the community.
Teammates have the opportunity to live out "The DaVita Way"
through:
Providing Quality Care
DaVita continuously works to improve quality of care with
standards that have been recognized by the federal government. For
two years in a row, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
recognized DaVita Kidney Care as a
leader in quality care, with twice as many four- and five-star
centers than any other major dialysis provider.
By advancing an integrated care model that helps patients with
unique health conditions individually and holistically, DaVita
works to improve patients' total health and quality of life – not
just treat their condition.
Developing as Leaders
DaVita University, a continuing education and leadership
program, offers a variety of classes related to team-building,
clinical initiatives, management and leadership. In addition to
management training courses, DaVita offers clinical teammates
multiple learning opportunities, such as the Preceptor program,
that are guided by an expert who gives practical training and an
immersion into adult learning concepts.
Engaging the Community
In addition to teammates directing donations of more than
$2 million nationwide through
DaVita Way of Giving in 2015, DaVita
contributed nearly $1.4 million to
116 community and nonprofit organizations across Colorado.
Teammates at DaVita's world headquarters in Denver also launched a new community
engagement strategy that focuses on making a direct and measurable
impact on local nonprofits and their way of conducting business.
Dynamic Volunteerism was created as a local initiative with the
purpose of leveraging the unique skillsets of our teammates,
individually and collectively, to enable nonprofits to perform at a
higher level.
