DaVita®, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE:
DVA) and a leading provider of kidney care services, today honors
the men and women of the armed forces that have served the United
States.
DaVita’s recruitment efforts help military veterans and their
spouses find gainful employment. As a member of MSEP (Military
Spouse Employment Partnership) since 2011, DaVita has made a
commitment to help match veterans and their spouses with jobs
within the company. DaVita also supports numerous virtual job fairs
designed for veterans and uses the Heroes2Hired.com job portal as
part of the ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve)
Employment Initiative Program.
“DaVita is proud of its ongoing commitment to welcoming military
veterans and their families into ‘the DaVita Village,’” said Laura
Mildenberger, chief people officer at DaVita. “Through our programs
designed to honor and support veterans, we can give back to a
community of people that have already shown a great commitment to
this country.”
On Veterans Day, DaVita teammates across the country will be
celebrating the veterans in their life and commemorating them for
their service.
In recent years, DaVita has implemented programs designed to
honor veterans throughout the year with special recognition on
Veterans Day. DaVita’s Village Veterans program allows new
teammates to receive mentorship from company leaders to help
transition them into their new role. DaVita offers current and
former military members the opportunity for personal development
through a private course. The Star Troopers program honors current
members of the military by assembling care packages and writing
thank-you notes for those serving overseas.
“During my 14 years as a DaVita teammate, I have been in awe of
the corporate support provided to members of the armed forces,”
said Bill Hyland, director of health care planning and retired Army
reserve member. “The recognition DaVita receives is a culmination
of thousands of teammates participating in many projects to support
our citizen soldiers.”
DaVita and its teammates have been recognized for their support
of military veterans, their spouses, and guard and reserve members.
