Day in the Life: Jena, DaVita Social Worker

Jena, Social Worker at DaVita, says being a social worker at DaVita is a different experience than what people might think. It’s not focused around talking about feelings while sitting at a desk all day. Working with her patients on the clinic floor and getting to know them is crucial so she can work to help make life on dialysis an easier experience.
