At Northwell, mentorship is one of the critical components to help individuals grow their careers. Read our blog to learn more about the experiences of four of our current team members, who built connections and gained unique learning opportunities participating in one of our 40+ mentorship programs. As our health services grow, our nurses are able to work in a community setting within a department that is continually being updated and expanded to enhance the patient experience. Impacting community health requires a combination of compassionate employees dedicated to helping people and a health system committed to keeping the “care” in healthcare—and that’s the case with the Northwell Health Solutions team. This commitment from a health system alone may be what some candidates expect when seeking a career in health care, but as Jessica and Alexis quickly learned, at Northwell you’ll also raise your career expectations. Every year, Northwell team members can rely on tried and true employee wellness programs and they can trust in the implementation of new initiatives designed to create a happy, safe, and healthy work environment.
