Caregiver Benefits

Monument Health encourages caregiver educational development and creates an environment that promotes caregiver engagement, lifelong learning and accountability throughout the organization. This certification program was established to help support educational development by providing certification assistance to caregivers to enhance their current skill levels and to promote development above and beyond the currently required skills for a caregiver’s position. Eligible caregivers must have worked for Monument Health for at least 6 months, working a minimum of 40 hours per pay period. One certification per fiscal year. In a two-year period, up to $650 can be reimbursed.

Our caregivers are the heart and soul of our organization. In step with one of our key priorities – be a great place to work – Monument Health has initiated a Student Loan Forgiveness Program. If eligible, payments will be made monthly directly to your student loan lender, reducing or eliminating the student loan payment that you make.

It is the philosophy of Monument Health that its caregivers should be lifelong learners. In line with this, the Educational Assistance or Tuition Reimbursement program is offered to caregivers after six months of continuous service with the organization. Courses being requested for reimbursement must be offered by an accredited university as recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. The amount of reimbursement is based on the full-time or part-time status of the employee. Refer to Policy titled, ‘Assistance for Education, Certifications, and Training’. Full Time Caregivers are eligible for up to $2,800 per fiscal year, and Part Time Caregivers are eligible for up to $1,400 per fiscal year.
