SHARE members know that, contrary to stereotypes, military veterans are not just tough individuals. We know that your experiences in challenging environments can foster a unique understanding of the importance of giving care. We know all of that, in part, because so many SHARE members are veterans themselves!
To all of our veterans, SHARE thanks you for your service, and for the unique skills and sensibilities that you bring to our hospital.
SHARE Benefits & the Holiday
Although Veterans Day is an important time to stop and pause, to reflect and honor, it’s also true that the work of our hospital can’t stop, not even for a second. SHARE continually negotiates for as many people to be off as possible on days like this one, but most departments will remain open.
We’re grateful to all of you who continue the important work of our hospital through the holiday. For information about how holiday pay works, see page 56 of the SHARE contract (or the highlights below).
Perks and Services for Veterans
We do hope that our veterans are able to take advantage of the ways that our community recognizes your commitment to our country. Here are lists of freebies and benefits from the local Patch website and from military.com in honor of Veterans Day. Service can sometimes create ongoing demands on veterans, of course, so please also know that there is a wide range of local services designated to help you.
