services for those diagnosed with end stage renal disease (ESRD)
and chronic kidney disease (CKD), this week committed to the
Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) by signing a
statement of support in Washington, D.C.
The Army Spouse Employment Partnership (ASEP) expanded to become
MSEP per the White House report “Strengthening Our Military
Families – Meeting America’s Commitment.” MSEP includes all
branches of the armed forces, guard and reserves in its program,
partnering those families with non-profit organizations, federal
agencies and Fortune 500® companies with strong initiatives to
employ military spouses across the United States.
“Engaging with the Military Spouse Employment Partnership is a
wonderful honor,” said DaVita® Chief People Officer Laura
Mildenberger. “This serves as an extension of our on-going
commitment to welcoming military veterans and their families into
the DaVita Village. Their understanding and dedication to service
excellence continues to be a tremendous asset to our goal of
becoming the greatest health care community the world has ever
seen."
DaVita joins the 57 current partners, including Lockheed Martin,
Starbucks, Home Depot and Verizon, with 14 others inducted this
week, bringing the partner total to 72. With nearly 2,400 locations
across the country, including dialysis clinics, hospital units and
business offices, DaVita offers numerous locations near military
installments which can employ military veterans and spouses, while
offering excellent career portability.
DaVita strongly believes in being a community first and a
company second and has found that military veterans and families
share the idea of embracing teammates (employees) and patients as a
Village. Since January 2010, DaVita has hired more than 400
military veterans, offering transitional support for teammates with
a military background.
