What’s New in 2026? Our Benefits Just Got Better!
Starting a new career should come with peace of mind. That’s why our Total Rewards package is designed to support your complete well-being. Here’s what’s new and improved for 2026:
Affordable Health Coverage That Truly Cares for You
Your health matters — and so does your peace of mind. At WellSpan, we have designed our health plans to make care accessible and affordable for every team member.
Options that fit your life: Choose from PPO Plus, PPO Standard or a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) — because flexibility matters.
Lower out-of-pocket costs: Enjoy smaller co-pays, deductibles and coinsurance — especially when you choose care within the WellSpan network.
Premiums that reward your wellness: Take advantage of competitive rates and earn Wellness Incentive discounts just for participating in programs that keep you feeling your best. Our premiums will not be increasing in 2026.
Because at WellSpan, we believe your benefits should do more than cover you — they should empower you to thrive.
Benefits That Make a Difference
At WellSpan Health, your career comes with more than just a paycheck. It includes peace of mind, flexibility and support for every stage of life. Here’s what you can expect:
Prescription Benefits
Comprehensive prescription coverage is included in all health plans, ensuring you and your family have access to the medications you need.
Generous Paid Time Off
Our PTO program combines vacation, personal, and sick time into one flexible bank, giving you the freedom to use your time as you need.
Accrual increases with tenure, so the longer you’re with us, the more time you earn.
Full-time team members typically receive 19-24 days per year, plus six paid holidays that can be taken on the holiday or any time before March 31 of the following year.
Starting a new job shouldn’t mean starting over with your hard-earned time off. That’s why we offer PTO bridging for new employees transitioning from similar roles. This benefit helps you maintain continuity in your time-off balance, so you don’t lose the flexibility you’ve worked for. It’s our way of saying: your experience counts, and your well-being matters.
Expanded Parental Leave – A New Way to Support Your Family in 2026
Starting in 2026, WellSpan Health is proud to introduce up to four weeks of paid parental leave during an approved FMLA or personal leave for child bonding. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, adopting or opening your home to a foster child, we want you to have the time to bond, celebrate and adjust without financial stress.
This benefit reflects our commitment to work-life balance and supporting every stage of life. Parenthood is a journey filled with joy and challenges, and we believe you deserve the space to embrace it fully.
Financial Security & Growth
Your hard work deserves lasting rewards. That’s why we offer a 403(b)-retirement plan with automatic enrollment at 4%, employer matching and additional contributions as your tenure grows. It’s our way of helping you build a strong foundation for the life you dream of, because planning for tomorrow should start today.
Education Assistance
Your ambitions matter to us. With tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 per year and student loan forgiveness up to $50,000 for eligible roles, we’re here to help you reach new heights without the burden of debt. Whether you’re advancing your skills or starting a new chapter, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Wellness & Lifestyle Benefits – Because You Deserve More Than Just a Job
At WellSpan Health, we believe your well-being matters, both inside and outside of work. That’s why our benefits go beyond the basics to help you live your best life.
Your Health, Your Happiness
Fitness incentives to keep you moving and feeling strong.
Mental health resources and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with 24/7 confidential support, plus six free visits per year. Because caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body.
Smile Bigger, See Clearer
Improved dental and vision plans with reduced contributions and expanded coverage. From routine checkups to stylish frames, we’ve got you covered.
Perks That Fit Your Life
Protect what matters most with pet insurance, home/renter’s coverage, auto insurance, identity theft protection, and whole life insurance. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
At WellSpan, we don’t just offer benefits. We offer a lifestyle that supports your health, your family and your future.
