DaVita Kidney Care has named Tina Livaudais as its new chief nursing officer; the announcement comes during Nephrology Nurses Week, a week designated by the American Nephrology Nurses Association to recognize members of the profession.
According to a press release, Livaudais has worked with the company for more than 2 decades, beginning as a patient care technician (PCT) in 1995 and most recently serving as vice president of clinical services for the national hospital services group.
"Reflecting on my 26 years with DaVita, I am grateful for each opportunity afforded to me that nurtured my passion for nephrology nursing and patient care," Livaudais said in the release. “I am inspired by our nurses and PCTs each day, and humbled by the opportunity to pass along those same opportunities as I lead the next generation of DaVita caregivers in their own journey."
The release highlighted the role Livaudais played in accelerating the growth of DaVita’s home dialysis program, as well as her “empathetic leadership style,” which she was recognized for in 2017.
“Tina is a visionary nurse leader with an unmatched passion for patient care, drive for clinical excellence and dedication to her teammates and the communities she serves,” Javier Rodriguez, CEO of DaVita, said. “Tina is the ideal leader to oversee our nurses and other frontline caregivers, and support DaVita’s mission to be the provider and employer of choice.”
