Careers

Patients don’t just come to Shawnee Mission Medical Center (SMMC) to get better. They come because they know our care is multidimensional, extending beyond our high-tech tools and exceptional training to include a spiritual touch, the willingness to go the extra mile and a focus on life-long wellness. 

Not only do we serve our patients by providing care that is Much more than medicine, we also strive to provide an exceptional experience for our associates, as well. Our goal is to create a supportive environment that encourages you to be your best - whether you're providing care at the bedside, serving meals to our patients or working in a department that provides administrative support. As part of our commitment to recognize, support and reward associates, SMMC offers one of the best benefit programs in the local health care industry. Highlights of our benefits package include:

• On-site child care
The SMMC Child Care Center provides on-site care to associates' and physicians' children ages six weeks to 12 years. With extended hours, 6 a.m.-8 p.m., and no contractual obligations, the Center assists our associates and physicians in maintaining a healthy balance between work and family life. Unlike other child care providers, parents enjoy the convenience of placing their children on either permanent or week-to-week schedules - allowing parents to only pay for care on the day it's needed. In addition, the Center provides a unique and fun summer camp for school-age children.   

• Tuition reimbursement
To support our associates' acedemic efforts, SMMC offers tuition reimbursement assistance that can lower the cost of tuition expenses by thousands of dollars. This benefit helps offset tuition costs once an associate has successfully completed a relevant course for academic credit. In addition, SMMC offers certification reimbursement for associates who attain certification through a professional association.

• On-site fitness center
We believe that associates can optimize their talents by maintaining complete whole-person health: physically, mentally and spiritually. We offer a 24-hour on-site fitness center for use by SMMC associates, physicians and volunteers, as well as members of their immediate family, for a nominal fee of $5 per month. 

• Great health insurance
The SMMC employee health care plan is a self-insured medical program that offers asociates three PPO plans to choose from. All three plans have in-network and out-of-network benefit levels to allow associates to choose where to have their services provided. All three plans have an annual out-of-pocket maximum, as well as prescription drug coverage.   

• Paid Days Off (PDO)
Paid time off from work is provided to eligible associates through the SMMC PDO (Paid Days Off) plan. This all-encompasing time off plan can be used for supervisor-approved paid time off for any reason - including illness, holidays and vacation.

• Employee Referral Bonuses
All SMMC associates have the opportunity to receive monetary bonuses for referring qualified candidates for employment in select SMMC departments. Bonuses will be given upon new associate hire, after six months of new associate employment and after one year of new associate employment.
