Benefits

We know that your health is a primary consideration for any potential employee and Roswell Park will have you covered.

• Health Insurance. We offer a range of comprehensive health insurance plans to care for all your health needs, including medical and preventive care, hospitalization, mental health care, drug coverage and more, with modest pre-tax employee contribution for individual, family or domestic partner coverage. (These are NOT high-deductible plans.) We offer plans through the Empire Plan, Highmark BCBS, and Independent Health, along with other plans for those who live outside of the 8 counties of WNY.
• Dental and Vision Insurance at NO cost. Plans provide for dental expenses, eye exams, and contacts / eyeglasses. Providers will vary depending on your union.
• Employee Health Clinic to provide annual health assessments, first aid, illness care, flu and COVID vaccines, referrals for cancer screenings, a lactation room and more.
• Pharmacy. Fill many of your prescriptions at our on-site pharmacy as well as purchase over-the-counter medications at a discounted price.
• Mammography. It doesn’t get more convenient than this! Get your annual breast cancer screening done on-site by our experts in breast cancer detection. (You'll have paid time off specifically for medical screenings.)

We offer multiple ways for you to maximize your compensation and plan for your future.

• Retirement Savings Options. Depending on the position, your choices may include NYS & Local Employees’ Retirement System (NYSERS), Voluntary Defined Contribution 401(a) plans, or tax-deferred annuities such as the 403(b) through TIAA or the 457(b) plan through NYS Deferred Compensation.
• Flexible Spending Accounts to save pre-tax dollars for healthcare, dependent care, and/or adoption costs. Some employees can even qualify for an employer contribution towards dependent care. New employees can join within 60 days of starting employment.
• NYS 529 College Saving Program, a tax-advantaged savings plan which allows you to invest money for qualified education expenses.
• NFTA Transit Pass discount program offers all employees a more affordable option for NFTA transit passes. Employees receive a $20 reduction in the cost of the pass.
• Disability Insurance. Options to enroll in short- and long-term disability insurance and term life insurance policies.

• Credit union. Roswell Park partners with a local Federal Credit Union that serves the needs of employees by providing savings, checking, loan, and other banking programs.
