Well-being
Taking care of our patients and their families begins with taking care of our Roswell Park family.
Your well-being is essential to our mission. At Roswell Park, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive package of benefits that help keep you and your family healthy, your work and personal life balanced and rewarding, and your future goals in sight.
Your specific benefit options will depend on your weekly scheduled hours, division and union associated with your position. Highlights of our offerings are below, and additional benefits are offered through the CSEA, PEF and NYSCOPBA unions.
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.

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