Employee Well-being

At Sanford Health employee well-being matters. That’s why we continually invest in programs and partnerships that support our employees and their families inside and outside of work.

With “Community” and “Service” being several of our core values, we offer employees volunteer paid time off. This benefit provides an opportunity for paid time away from work to volunteer in our communities for a cause that is important to employees and demonstrates the understanding that we all play an important role in the health and healing of our communities.

With the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare employees especially, Sanford launched a host of free or discounted resources for employees and their family members. These well-being resources have helped numerous individuals thrive across their physical, emotional, spiritual, professional, financial, or social areas of life. For employees facing difficult and unpredictable circumstances, Sanford developed the Employee Crisis Fund to provide financial support. With “Family” as another core value, Sanford aims to help not only the patients we serve, but also the workers employed.

Within our Corporate Services and Administration roles, many departments are offering flexibility as it relates to schedules as well as potential for working remotely. Although in-office culture and collaboration is important, Sanford understands employees have other commitments and hobbies that require flexibility, and often make their own positive impact in the lives of those in our communities.

Company Health

Sanford Health has a 125-year history of a hospital that started in Sioux Falls and has grown to include 46 hospitals and more than 200 Good Samaritan Society senior care locations across 26 states and 10 countries. Now, one of the largest health systems in the United States, we are on a journey of tremendous growth and momentum.

With a company of our size, employees can benefit from our tradition of offering an annual bonus during the holiday season and annual salary increases that we’re proud to say we’ve been able to offer for more than two consecutive decades.

We are honored to receive the various regional and national awards that reflect our mission of sharing God’s love through the work of health, healing and comfort, as well as the hard work our employees do every day to make it a reality.

Along with providing world-class patient care, the Sanford Initiatives have helped differentiate Sanford Health since 2007. Initiatives such as research, children's health, sports medicine, weight loss, genetics, breast cancer and others were designed to enhance Sanford's health care capabilities and share our expertise with the communities we serve.
