Be where you are valued
I am excited to announce that we are improving more of the benefits we offer to our employees. In addition to medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, education benefits, employee discounts, and more, we also offer a variety of retirement contribution plans to help our teammates plan for the future.

Our teammates have created a welcoming, caring, and supportive culture that sets us apart. Our new Employer Brand highlights how MHS enhances and elevates our healthcare system every day through preparing our caregivers for the future by providing:

• A 403(b) Plan which currently allows you to save towards your retirement on a pre-tax basis as well as a Roth basis starting in January 2024. MHS will match employee contributions up to the first 5% based off years of service.
• MHS provides a 401(a) plan, which is a fully funded MHS contribution that will increase in the 2024 Plan year from 2.5% to 3% of base compensation.
• MHS also offers a 457(b) Deferred Compensation plan which allows employees to defer additional compensation on a pretax basis, and new for 2024 – a Roth option.

Memorial is dedicated to improving and maintaining the body, mind, and spirit of our employees. That’s why we have increased the Memorial Minimum wage from $15 to $16 an hour for regular and per diem employees. This increased wage is effective June 4, 2023 and will impact approximately 2,000 employees. It also increases the value of benefits, such as paid leave, disability leave, the contributions made by Memorial to retirement plans, and more! By investing in our employees, we are investing in their families, and ultimately the community we live and serve in.

We have partnered with Broward College to support employees who are preparing to take the GED (high school equivalency diploma) test. Beginning with the Fall 2023 semester, employees will be able to attend an eight-week course online (with in-person orientation as well as in-person pre- and post-tests at Broward College) at their work site or at home with morning and evening options available.

Memorial Healthcare System truly wants every one of our employees to feel accepted, supported, and valued as part of our warm, welcoming family. That’s why we’ve been working on our retirement plan offerings – and why we’re offering new, improved pay rates.

An exceptional display of teamwork.

We all have had many new experiences during COVID-19. At Memorial Healthcare System, we’ve tried to find the bright side whenever we can. Looking beyond the obvious impact to see where each of us has an opportunity to shine.

I have always been impressed by the teamwork here. It’s part of what we call The Memorial Experience. But the collaboration between our nursing and respiratory therapy professionals is truly next level.

In this issue of our Career e-Newsletter, you will read about the relationship between these two departments. How they are supporting each other during difficult times and why they could never succeed without one another by their side. One article is from the perspective of nursing, the other from respiratory.

These are great stories of collaboration and camaraderie. Which is something you can expect no matter where you work within our organization. I invite you learn more about our culture and our opportunities today.

We’ve heard a lot about healthcare heroes over the past few months, seeing images of doctors and nurses in their PPE. But there are many others who have escaped the public eye. This issue of our career e-newsletter is dedicated to some of those people: the essential workers on our Support Services teams.

Food & Nutrition Services and Environmental Services employees are rarely in the spotlight, yet they are vital to maintaining the health and safety of our patients, employees and families. They are feeding our patients, visitors, and frontline workers. Keeping rooms and public areas clean and sanitized. Taking care of our basic needs so we can focus on our jobs.

The work of Support Services has always been important, but it has taken on greater significance during COVID-19. In the following stories, you will read about the extra effort and personal sacrifice of our teams. You’ll also read about the rewards that come with being part of Memorial Healthcare System.

Whether you want to advance your career, or to get your foot in the door in a healthcare role, our Food & Nutrition Services and Environmental Services areas have growth opportunities available. I invite you to explore our openings and apply online today.
