Registered Nutritional Dietitian

1614 West 19th Street, Ashtabula, Ohio, 44004, United States of America

About the role

DaVita is looking for a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Nutritionist to help educate our dialysis patients and their families. In this role, the dietitian will work with our patients at our Ashtabula Dialysis and our Kingsville Dialysis.

A typical day for a dietitian would involve reviewing monthly lab work with patients and educating them on dietary and medication changes to improve their outcomes. The dietitian also completes nutrition assessments for patients and may attend patient rounds with their nephrologist. Use your natural gift of education and persuasion to help patients understand that what they eat directly affects their lab levels. As a vital member of each patient's core care team, you will analyze lab-work results and educate patients—and their families—on what to eat accordingly.
