Philadelphia Magazine named Jefferson Hospital one of the region's “Best Places to Work,” describing the hospital as “dependable, popular and down-to-earth.” The article also praises our “focus on academics” and “sophisticated benefits plan.”

Our staff are especially pleased with the benefits Jefferson offers for tuition assistance, commuter services, health and wellness facilities and with the privileges they enjoy at Scott Memorial Library.

Jefferson offers a flexible benefits program that allows employees to choose from a variety of benefits. The “OPT” is available to all full-time non-bargaining employees. Benefits Credits are based on the employee’s age, salary and dependent status. Jefferson contributes up to 50% of the cost towards some of these benefits. However, if you need more credits than what is provided, you can convert a portion of your pre-tax salary to additional Benefit Credits in order to purchase more benefits. By the same token, if you do not need the use all of your benefits, you may be eligible to receive a portion of those benefit dollars as salary.
