Free Gym Membership for Employees

We know how tough it is to fit "going to the gym" with hectic schedules. Excela Health makes it easier for employees to work-out and get fit. Employee fitness gyms are located at Frick, Latrobe and Westmoreland hospitals, and employees may work out at any gym once a member. And the best part is – the Excela Health Well-Being Center is waiving all Employee Wellness Gym deductions until June 30, 2023.

To apply for a gym membership simply fill out and return our Gym Enrollment Packet located on the Well-Being Center Intranet Page (Employee Wellness>Employee Fitness> Onsite Gyms).

Want to achieve lasting results in the new year? Focus on creating healthy, sustainable habits! A new year is an exciting time for new beginnings, but it can start to feel stressful or discouraging with the thought of doing it all at once or achieving "perfection". It doesn't have to be that way. Research shows that it can take an average of 66 days to form a new habit. Learn More

Kudos & Recognition

"I want to give a shout out to Jerome the shuttle driver at WH in the mornings. He is very pleasant & greets everyone with a friendly word. He is very considerate, checking the parking lot for any other riders before he pulls away. He goes the "extra mile" to make sure everyone gets a ride and gets us all off to a good start in the mornings. Thanks, Jerome, for all you do!!! We appreciate you!!"

Excela Health Employee Referral Program

Excela Health is hiring for a variety of positions. We offer a comprehensive benefit package and compensation package, tuition reimbursement/loan forgiveness opportunities and a variety of other employee friendly perks.

When you refer a candidate and they mention your name as a referral either on their online application or during their interview, and if the candidate is hired and all guidelines have been met, then you will be paid out after the 6 month mark pending all qualifications are met.

How the Process Works

During the application process the prospective hire will have two chances to make Excela Health aware of a referral.

The first opportunity is a field in the application itself. When asked where the candidate heard about the position they can select ‘employee referral’ and input the employee name.

The second opportunity is during the interview process. A recruiter will ask if the candidate was referred by a current employee.

Note: There is no longer a survey for employees to fill out. If mentioned during the hiring process, then you will be paid out after the six month mark pending all qualifications are met.

Current Hot Jobs

All referral bonuses will be paid after the referral has successfully completed and worked 6-months of full-time employment.
