Who Are We?

Concerto Renal Services is an industry leader in sub-acute hemodialysis within a skilled nursing facility and/or long-term care facility. We are a rapidly expanding business with a simple mission: reimagining dialysis care, one community at a time. Our model focuses on ensuring those with end-stage renal disease receive the best possible care through a more convenient, centralized, continuous care model.

 

Why is this Role Essential?

The Lead Social Worker serves as a regional clinical and operational leader, providing direct patient care while overseeing Social Workers within their assigned region.
