Benefits & Total Rewards
Benefits that are totally you.
At Advocate Health, we believe redefining care starts from within. That’s why our Total Rewards support your health, your life and your future – so you can thrive while doing meaningful work.
From transparent pay to flexible time away and long-term growth opportunities, we invest in you and your family at every stage of your journey.
Compensation
We provide compensation that is transparent, fair and competitive. Our market-informed pay reflects the skills and dedication you bring to your role and supports you throughout your career.
We offer a consistent minimum starting rate* across our locations that is often above typical market levels for similar roles. Compensation grows with you as your experience, skills and impact expand.
*This may not apply to teammates who recently joined Advocate Health through integrations and partnerships.
