DaVita has been named among the LearningElite for the past six years, and this is the first time the company has received the magazine's Gold-level recognition.

"We strive to foster both personal and professional growth, knowing that who we are and how we show up at work is also who we are at home, in our communities and in the world."
On this year's list, DaVita's inclusion among the Gold-level winners was in part attributed to the company's continuous efforts to innovate its learning and development programs.
Among the new programs is DaVita THRIVE. The newly-launched initiative is designed to foster the development of DaVita nurses who have interest in becoming facility administrators at DaVita clinics.
