Sanford Health Recognized by Forbes for Ongoing Dedication to Veterans
Sanford Health has been named to Forbes list of America’s Best Employers for Veterans 2024. This is the second consecutive year Sanford Health has received this prestigious award for its commitment to being a strong veteran-and-military friendly workplace.
This recognition is based on feedback from nearly 24,000 U.S. veterans, evaluating employers on everything from work environment and career development to veteran-specific support. This award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“From serving our country to serving patients, we are extremely grateful for the current and past military members who have chosen to continue their careers at Sanford Health,” said Bill Gassen, president and CEO of Sanford Health. “Our commitment to military members, veterans and their families is unwavering across our health system, and we will continue to provide employment opportunities for service members who are interested in joining the Sanford family.”
Sanford Health offers several programs for military and veteran employees, including continuation of benefits and differential pay for service members during their deployment. This year, Sanford Health continued its support to active-duty members and their spouses by partnering with the Department of Defense (DoD) Skillbridge Program and the Military Spouses Employment Program.
People who disclose they are veterans of the United States uniformed services when applying for a job at Sanford Health are automatically given a screening interview. Military and veteran employees have the option to continue their education and apply for a $5,000 scholarship to help them do this.
