Veterans
Taking care of you after you took care of us
We salute our veterans and active military members with careers that leverage the skills and unique experience they gained while serving our country. Our organization fully supports service members transitioning from active duty to civilian life with opportunities within the workforce that care for the very lives they fought to protect. With job search training, veteran-friendly transition programs, health and wellness services, MOS code job search and other supportive resources it’s even easier for veterans and active service members to find careers with us.
In reward of your dedication
We have a number of benefits offered to veterans and military members to support your needs.
- Pay differential programs for Reservists or members of the National Guard (for qualifying deployments).
- Medical, behavioral health and wellness services for you and your family.
- Networking opportunities with our veteran employees and support agencies.
- The opportunity to continue making a difference for our country, here in your own community, with a career at Northwell.
Our programs
Northwell is proud to offer paid comprehensive training programs to support veterans and military service members who are looking to advance their career in both clinical and non-clinical roles. These on-the-job, paid training programs include both didactic and experiential learning to prepare eligible veterans and military service members for select roles at designated Northwell sites.
Fair360 has honored this innovative program that embraces military veteran employees and their families and provides mentoring to help veterans transition back into the civilian workforce. When you join VALOR as a Northwell Health employee, you’ll be with others who have served or currently serve in the U.S. military, have family members in the armed forces or have a special interest in military and veterans’ affairs.
With over a decade delivering exceptional services, our Office of Military and Veterans’ Liaison Services provides health and wellness resources for active military service members as well as veterans and their families. Being a veteran himself, our Director AVP, Juan Serrano understands and is committed to meeting the unique needs of military personnel and their families.
