Carson Tahoe Benefits Information
Welcome to Carson Tahoe Health! We're grateful to have you as a part of our team. Please take some time to review the benefits and policy documents based on your hiring level. If you have questions, please contact [email protected].
Our Employee Benefits Program
Because we recognize that our employees are our most valuable resource, your health and welfare are extremely important to Carson Tahoe Health. Therefore it is our pleasure to offer our benefit-eligible employees a variety of solutions to help address your health and welfare needs, as well as the needs of your family.
We have designed a program that will provide comprehensive and competitive benefits for our valued employees. Many of these benefits are paid for – in whole or in part – by Carson Tahoe Health. Other benefits are offered as voluntary options to be paid for by you through the convenience of payroll deductions. We understand that no two employees have the same needs; therefore all of the benefit plans have been selected to give you choices, so you can choose the options that will best fit you and your family.
Our employees continue to be the driving force behind our past success and position us well for the future. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to “put patients first”. We are proud to make these benefits available to you, our Carson Tahoe Health family.
