At MU Health Care, we offer more than just jobs. We offer careers full of growth, opportunity and support.

Walk into one of our hospitals or clinics and it’s easy to see there’s just something more to being on the MU Health Care team. From our dedicated housekeepers and office support staff to our caring doctors and nurses, our employees are united and driven by a shared mission: to save and improve lives.

That collective drive is part of what makes us MU Health Care — and working in a collaborative, inspired environment is just one of the many perks we offer.

Benefits Day One

We value our employees' health, time and personal lives. That's why we offer a complete benefits package — including health insurance, paid vacation accrual, sick leave accrual, personal days and retirement options — day one.

Health Insurance

Switching jobs can be stressful enough without having to worry about gaps in insurance coverage. MU Health Care employees who work an average of 30 or more hours per week are eligible for health, dental and vision insurance coverage on their first day of employment. We offer multiple plan options including our signature Custom Network Plan, which offers family premiums as low as $399 a month.

Vacation and Paid Sick Leave

We want our employees to thrive in and outside of the workplace with a healthy work-life balance. That's why in addition to traditional paid holidays, we offer a robust vacation, sick and personal leave package. Employees start accruing vacation and sick leave day one, with sick leave available after the first month and vacation available after a six-month probation period.

Support

From daily team huddles and one-on-one check-ins with supervisors to wellness incentives and flexible work arrangements, we want to ensure our employees are supported in their careers and well-being.

Celebrating Diversity

At MU Health Care, we celebrate diversity and ensure everyone has the opportunity to be a part of something bigger — to have a voice and role in work that is serving our community and changing the field of medicine.

Employee Resource Groups

We strive to create a workplace where each person feels welcome, respected, included and valued. One of the ways we do this is through our employee resource groups. In these groups, employees actively engage around a central unifying background or purpose, and work together to amplify and celebrate the unique and diverse cultures at MU Health Care.

Current groups include:

The PRIDE Network
African Heritage
Bienvenidos
Women of MU Health Care

Thoughtful Thursdays

Each month, our diversity, equity and inclusion team leads a Thoughtful Thursday webinar where all employees are invited to learn about different groups and cultures. Oftentimes these webinars are hosted by our employee resource groups to tackle critical conversations, such as gender equality, chasing the “American dream” as a minority, culturally competent health care and maternal mental health.

Using Your Voice

Employees also have the opportunity to join our Staff Council, where they can use their voice to shape our workplace. With a focus on promoting positive communication, overall engagement and workplace satisfaction, council members play a big role in:

Voicing ideas and concerns for fellow staff members
Giving feedback on various leadership initiatives
Recommending activities and policies to administration
Attending various events, committees and task forces on behalf of the organization
Coordinating activities and events
