TEAMMATE ORIENTATION 1
Welcome to DaVita!
You are now part of a unique group. One that considers itself a community
first and a company second. We’re so committed to that notion that we
don’t even refer to ourselves as a company, but as our Village. We are not
employees, but teammates. Our CEO, Kent Thiry, prefers the title of Mayor.
“What kind of place is this?” you may be wondering. For many of us, it’s the
most unique, exciting and fun workplace we’ve ever been a part of.
DaVita has a unique history and a distinctive culture, called The DaVita
Way, that you’ll learn about in this program. It fosters a supportive
environment that allows us to become a better version of ourselves
and to do better work. (In fact, we’re so committed to a positive work
environment that Fun is one of our Core Values!)
Every great company has a vision, and ours is simple but
bold:
To Build the Greatest Healthcare Community the World
Has Ever Seen
by constantly improving the quality of life for our
patients. And the great thing is, we’re just as committed to caring for
each other — it’s the very definition of The DaVita Way.
Today you stand at the beginning of a road which leads to a practically
limitless future. If you choose to “play all-out” and take advantage of the
many opportunities you’ll have at DaVita to learn, grow and give, you can
achieve more than you think you can. This One for All program is one of
dozens of DaVita University offerings designed to help you become the best
“you” you can be, both personally and professionally.
We are honored to serve as your Village leaders. We look forward to meeting
and speaking with you. Thank you for joining our team.
Kent Thiry,
Your Mayor
