Gourmet Green Beans by Geri from Washington

Geri has been a renal dietitian for 20 years. But, she has especially enjoyed her last two years at DaVita—particularly the challenge of teaching patients to control phosphorus. “There are many educational opportunities here,” Geri shares. “And it’s very rewarding to see patients become healthy and do well on dialysis.”

Geri’s interest in nutrition began with a love for food, cooking and teaching others how to cook. After graduating from Washington State University and working as a dietitian for 18 years, she brought her enthusiasm and talents to DaVita.

Today, Geri is a very important member of the DaVita team—bringing a unique approach to her work. “I try to have theme days every month,” she explains. “We often dress up and provide treats to patients.”

These days Geri’s patients get a double treat when they come to the center. They get to enjoy a brand new unit with lots of windows—a place where they can appreciate improved health and the beauty of all four seasons.

Give yourself a healthy treat. Try Geri’s delicious Gourmet Green Beans.
