Employee Benefits
Health and wellness is our passion at MemorialCare—that includes taking good care of employees and their dependents. We offer high quality health insurance plan options, so you can select the best choice for your family. And there’s more...
MemorialCare’s healthcare benefits are designed to help you meet your goals for a healthy lifestyle and provide superior care for you and your family when you need it. MemorialCare offers choices for healthcare plans that give you access to healthcare from some of the top primary care, specialists and hospitals right where you live throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Our employee benefits include a choice of two HMOs and a PPO plan, along with dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, long-term disability insurance, life and accident insurance.
Our fully integrated Paid Time Off (PTO) policy provides time off for holidays, rest and relaxation, or while you or a family member is recovering from a temporary illness or injury. PTO can be used as they are accrued.
MemorialCare’s well-being program is called “The Good Life”. Its goal is to empower you to maintain or improve your complete well-being through active living, mindful eating, life balance and social connection. The Good Life provides employees with the tools that make it easy to focus on any area of wellness that is important to you, from increasing fitness, building better nutrition and sleep habits, or increasing mindfulness skills.
At MemorialCare, we understand that personal problems occasionally arise, and you may need to seek outside professional advice. Our employee assistance program helps employees and their immediate family develop and maintain a lifestyle that supports good health and productivity. The program provides free, confidential counseling, assessment, referral and follow-up. EAP services are at no cost to the employee and all services are completely confidential.
The MemorialCare 401(k) plan provides an easy way to save for your future. It offers convenient contributions via paycheck deduction, pre-tax as well as Roth contributions, with available loans and rollover provisions, an employer matching contribution plus a broad range of funds to help you achieve a diversified portfolio. In addition, we provide regular one-on-one access to expert financial planners to help you shape your saving strategies.
MemorialCare encourages and supports the professional growth of its employees by providing financial assistance to further their education. Courses must be related to the employee’s position or be required by a degree program, which leads to a MemorialCare related career.
Our employees are eligible to participate in several voluntary benefit plans — including college savings plan, long-term care, critical illness insurance, and pet insurance.
Our employees are eligible to make referrals through our employee referral program. MemorialCare is looking for great candidates to fill certain open and hard to fill positions throughout our healthcare system, and when employees refer people to our team, you can qualify to earn cash incentives. Learn how to make a referral and make a simply better impact.

In 2023, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) honored Saddleback Medical Center's ICU with the Silver Beacon Award, recognizing it as one of the nation's top hospital critical care units.
