Inspired by service. Committed to care.

Active military members and veterans of our military and armed forces hold a special place in our hearts at Northwell Health. Their commitment to protect the lives of others helps us remember the value of their service and sacrifice, and  the responsibility we have to the communities that entrust us with their health.

Our teams grow stronger because of the values and experience veterans bring to our workforce, and we take great pride in creating an atmosphere that acknowledges the contributions they’ve made to society and how that translates into impacting the industry we look to continuously lead.

To help active military members and veterans transition to a new career,  Northwell hosts a range of opportunities to  support their transition to civilian life or  career journey utilizing their unique experience to help them find careers beyond their service. We also stand with the veteran community at large and demonstrate our appreciation by recognizing their selflessness and what they represent in the community where we live, love and belong.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is choosing to put people and the planet first by operating in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally responsible. At Northwell we have a mission to serve and care for the entire community. It is our responsibility to broaden our leadership role, activities and investments. When it comes to social responsibility, Northwell Health understands that success and responsibility work in tandem to make the health system a Great Place to Work.

Northwell places an emphasis on investing in the communities we serve including our team members. That is why we are working to promote innovation, trust and transparency within our organization, and why we have laid out an ambitious agenda coordinated by a corporate social responsibility function and committee, to turn our bold vision into a reality.

Our CSR efforts include volunteerism and philanthropy in our local communities, environmental sustainability, responsible partnerships, pathways and access to healthcare careers in all of our neighborhoods, a focus on human rights and social issues, equity, diversity and inclusion, along with non-negotiable ethics surrounding how we treat our people, and how we do business.

Northwell engages in strategic partnerships to help foster community growth and wellness. From promoting youth empowerment, to tackling food insecurity, to reducing energy and emissions, to supporting anti-racism efforts, Northwell constantly invests financial and human resources to support the important work of our partners to help keep our communities healthy, fair, and safe.

In addition, these efforts are consistent initiatives within the health system to make a difference externally. Whether it's advocating for an end to gun violence, expanding mental health services for youth, protecting LGBTQ residents, delivering healthy foods to our communities, or partnering with domestic violence awareness organizations, it is the compassion and generosity of our employees which fuels CSR efforts year-round.
