What we offer
HHM Health offers free employee coverage for vision, dental, and life insurance. While medical coverage has a biweekly cost to employees, vision and dental remain low-cost for the entire family. In 2022, we began using Non-Stop Wellness (an MERP) which means that employees have ZERO out-of-pocket- cost for medical coverage, regardless of which tier they choose.
HHM also demonstrates mindfulness around our employee’s future wellbeing and chooses to invest in their futures as they grow within our company. Our 403(b) plans allow savings via pre-tax contributions. Healing Hands matches employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% and match 50% of the next 2% (so, contribute 5% to get 4% matched).
HHM Health believes that employees should have opportunities to enjoy time away from work to help balance their lives. For this reason, we provide Vacation and Sick Days to all full-time employees. Additionally, since HHM is a non-profit organization, we understand the value of volunteers and the impact that volunteering has on the local community. As a result, we are proud to offer paid Volunteer Days for our full-time employees, in order for them to be able to take time off to volunteer for any non-profit organization without having to use their Vacation Time.
