With this position, you are eligible to participate in the At Risk Compensation (ARC) Plan. This plan enables SCL Health to provide leaders with an additional performance compensation opportunity.

We. 

Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll encourage joy and take pride in our integrity. 

Weâ™ll laugh at each otherâ™s jokes (even the bad ones). We'll say hello and high five. Weâ™ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

Weâ™re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.
