Kirkland Employee Benefits

We are committed to caring for you and your family, just as you are committed to caring for your patients. We support a healthy work life balance to keep you living and feeling well.

Keeping You Healthy

Health Coverage

Our coverage is provided through the First Choice Health Network and gives you the ability to pick coverage that fits your needs. You have your choice of two plans: the PPO Plan and the Health Savings Medical Plan. Under the Health Savings Plan, EvergreenHealth pays 100% of your coverage, while under the PPO plan, EvergreenHealth subsidizes your coverage. You will pay for dependent coverage in all plans.

Vision Coverage

The core vision plan includes coverage for glasses, frames and contact lenses as well as annual visits. A buy-up option and an out-of-network option is available as well. EvergreenHealth pays 100% of your coverage in the core vision plan.

Dental Coverage

EvergreenHealth provides access to the Delta Dental Preferred PPO network from Delta Dental of Washington with Core Plan and a Buy-Up Plan options. EvergreenHealth pays 100% of your coverage for in-network preventative care under both plans as well as a significant majority of the costs for other services like fillings and surgery.

Planning for Your Future

Retirement Planning

EvergreenHealth encourages saving for your retirement by offering a plan in which both you and EvergreenHealth contribute to your savings. The plan is administered by Fidelity Investments and is available to employees working 20 or more hours each week.

There are two parts to your retirement plan:

• The 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan will automatically deposit 4% of your pre-tax earnings unless you opt out within 60 days of being hired. You may also adjust your contribution amount.
• The 401(a) plan includes EvergreenHealth’s contribution, which up to 50% of the first 8% you defer to your 457(b) plan. Additionally, EvergreenHealth contributes a percentage of your total compensation to your 401(a) following your first year of continuous employment. This amount is deposited quarterly and increases the longer you stay employed at EvergreenHealth.

Long-Term Disability Coverage

EvergreenHealth provides employer-paid long-term disability (LTD) coverage to all benefit-eligible employees, which replaces a percentage of your salary when you're disabled and unable to work for an extended period.

Flexible Spending Accounts

EvergreenHealth pays the cost of administering multiple flexible spending plans including a Dependent Care Spending Account and a Health Care Spending Account.

Tuition Reimbursement Program

EvergreenHealth's Tuition Reimbursement Program provides assistance to those employees who have been continuously employed for at least 3 months and are pursuing degrees and certificates that are relevant to their continued employment in any position at EvergreenHealth.

Paid Time Off

You begin accruing Paid Time Off hours on your first day of employment. Some employees are provided Paid Time Off (PTO) and an Extended Illness Bank (EIB) while others receive vacation and sick leave benefits under their union contracts. Either way, both groups accrue time off based on length of service and hours worked.

Free Parking

We're happy to provide free on-site parking at all EvergreenHealth locations. Our Kirkland campus offers mostly covered parking in our three parking garages. Additionally, we provide electric vehicle charging stations in each of our parking garages.
