Are you a college or grad student looking for healthcare opportunities? You must be 18 for in-clinic roles. Do you need to build patient service skills? Are you looking for options where you can be part of a care team, or to give back to the kidney community? Together, we can make life better for those living with kidney disease.
Become a Greeter today! *Spanish speakers preferred at our Watsonville clinic.* Greeters connect with patients, physically assist patient with their bags or to their treatment chair, and boost communication through the Center. Volunteers answer questions about treatment schedule times, alerting a staff person that a patient has a particular question, interact with transport partners, provide a listening ear to patients while they wait in the lobby.
When you engage as a Greeter, staff can concentrate on the clinical needs they are uniquely trained to do. Together, we are a better team, more able to address patient concerns during our busiest times.
If you are interested in gaining skills in customer service, are thinking about a career in healthcare or dialysis, or just want to work with a team to assist a kidney patient, this opportunity is for you!

Mission Statement

Description
Satellite: A simple idea that changed the way people received treatment.
In the 1960s and early 1970s, people living on dialysis often traveled great distances, three times a week, to a regional medical center for their life-sustaining treatments.
Dr. Norm Coplon, Satellite Healthcare’s founder, believed it was possible to offer individualized dialysis care in a friendlier, more comfortable environment, closer to where people lived.
With just six patients, the first Satellite dialysis center opened March 1 st, 1974. The little center, tucked away in a quiet San José, California neighborhood, was the start of a collaborative, energetic spirit that spurred a series of innovations and opportunities.
Today, Satellite Healthcare has more than 2,800 employees caring for about 8,300 patients. Our 80+ centers are located in five states - California, Texas, Tennessee, New Jersey, and Hawaii.
As we celebrate our past, we look to what the future holds and to the many more lives we’ll be able to touch with high-quality, individualized kidney care.
