You must indicate your status on your application to take advantage of this program. Employment is subject to post offer, pre-placement assessment, including drug testing.

Be where care matters.

This unwavering commitment to our service vision makes the difference and is the foundation of The Memorial Experience. Deeper Caring. Smarter Healthcare. Talk to our patients and their families about “Deeper Caring,” and they'll tell you stories about miracle babies, lives saved through sheer determination, and the comforting kindness of others. About people who advocated for the family's best interests and cared for them in body, mind, and spirit. For our employees, “Smarter Healthcare” means constantly improving how we deliver care.

Veteran’s Preference allows for the first choice in interviewing, hiring, retention, and promotion after deployment when all other applicant qualifications are equal. However, Veteran's Preference does not guarantee a job. Who is eligible for Veteran’s Preference? We are proud to offer preference to internal and external applicants who identify within these categories: veterans, disabled veterans, spouse of a disabled veteran, unremarried veteran widow/widower, certain family members, active reservists and members of the National Guard. What should I do if I am eligible for Veteran’s Preference? You must claim your Veteran’s Preference status on your application. If selected for a job, you must provide documentation regarding your status. How does Memorial verify that someone is eligible for Veteran’s Preference? We require specific documentation as determined by the basis for which someone claims preference. For example, the documentation for a disabled veteran is different from the documentation required for the spouse of a veteran killed in the line of duty. How often can an eligible person claim Veteran's Preference at Memorial? There is no limit to how often internal or external applicants can use preference when a job is posted externally on our career website or elsewhere. What if there are two equally qualified, preference-eligible job applicants? In this case, the selection is based on the eligibility category in accordance with Florida law. First preference is given to: An honorably discharged veteran who has served on active duty and has a service‑connected, compensable disability. A spouse of a person who has a total, permanent, service‑connected disability and cannot qualify for employment. A spouse of a person missing in action, captured or forcibly detained or interned by a foreign government or power.
