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.

At Memorial Healthcare System, we are dedicated to improving the health, well-being, and quality of life of the people entrusted to our care. 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. For our employees, “Smarter Healthcare” means constantly improving how we deliver care. It could be a new technology, a streamlined process, or a cutting-edge program leveraging our system strengths. But, no matter how you look at it, our service vision is integral to our culture today and what we strive to be tomorrow. We invite you to share in the Memorial Experience – where touching lives, lifting spirits, and healing the human body is our profession’s greatest privilege and reward. Be where you are valued. Memorial Healthcare System provides preference as part of our commitment to honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans in alignment with state regulations. 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. What do I do if I am denied Veteran's Preference? If you feel you have been unfairly denied Veteran’s Preference by Memorial Healthcare System, please contact [e-mail]. You may also file a complaint with the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs (FDVA).
