Tuition reimbursement
We encourage you to invest in your personal development and career growth through formal education. The health system will reimburse benefits-eligible full-time and part-time employees who have at least 12 months of service up to $3,750 per calendar year for completing approved college courses at an accredited institution. Part-time employees receive tuition reimbursement at a prorated amount based on FTE. The lifetime benefit maximum is $15,000.
