DaVita's unique corporate culture and intentionality toward delivering quality patient care while creating an exceptional experience in its centers and offices has created a loyal teammate community.

For DaVita, supporting its teammates and their sense of belonging is a priority. DaVita's goal is to embed diversity and belonging practices into everything it does.

DaVita prides itself on offering more than standard benefits and compensation packages. In 2018, DaVita changed its benefits package to DaVita Rewards, which connects teammates with resources to help them with health care coverage, retirement planning, opportunities for career development and overall well-being resources for themselves and their families.

DaVita's innovative culture and drive to change health care has earned the company recognition and awards, including Fortune World's Most Admired Companies list, Training Magazine's Top 125 and WorldBlu's Most Freedom Centered Workplaces.
