The Envision Healthcare Employee Relief Fund Empowers Teammates to Take Care of One Another

Taking care of one another … That is the spirit by which Envision Healthcare employees live. We deliver high-quality care to patients all over the country, and in times of disaster and economic uncertainty, and when all other avenues of support are exhausted, we help one another through the Envision Healthcare Employee Relief Fund (EHERF).

Envision Healthcare - Care Deeply

Supporting Our Teammates

The EHERF allows the Envision community to unite to help struggling employees, and employees at the company’s subsidiaries and affiliates, to meet their immediate needs through direct financial assistance.

Envision Healthcare - Embrace Team Work

Sustaining Community

The dollars that help our teammates, up to $5,000 per qualifying event, come directly from our community—corporate leaders, physicians and center directors, and individual employees who donate generously through every paycheck. As a charitable foundation, the EHERF also receives gifts from outside donors.

Envision Healthcare - Instill Trust

Directing Relief Where It's Needed Most

Every single donated dollar goes to help members of the Envision community. You won’t see EHERF bumper stickers or t-shirts. Our sole focus is to help the women and men we work with every day who have found themselves under financial stress due to a catastrophic event beyond their control.

Recipient Stories

Whether it is after a fire, a flood or tornado — or during a pandemic — Envision employees take care of one another. During the first three months alone of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EHERF received more than 100 requests for assistance and provided nearly $90,000 in grants to struggling employees.

EHERF aid can be used to help families pay their mortgage or rent, buy groceries or other necessities or address health care needs not covered by health insurance.

Here is some of what we have heard as we work to address needs that arise in our community:

Providing Aid When No One Else Can … Or Will

I had tried everywhere to get help and I kept getting turned down. … Bills kept piling up. I worked to try to get food and assistance from churches and the Salvation Army. That’s when I reached out to the company.

Taking Care Of One Another

I connected directly to HR and they helped me. It was really helpful at the time. … She asked me if I had food. … I couldn't afford anything. I have a son at home. She was very helpful.

Meeting Basic Needs When The Unexpected Strikes

They are helping people in dying need. Especially in these times. Without this program I would not be able to have food. A lot of people are struggling.

A Word from Donors

ERF Donor

Envision employee

We are one big team. As a team, this means we are here for each other – we are here to encourage, support each other and pick each other up when something in life knocks us down. When one of us on our team is down for whatever reason and/or needs some type of assistance, we are here to pick each other up. The significant impact of COVID has clearly been and continues to be an opportunity for us to help each other.

ERF Donor

Envision employee

I trust that those who are on the committee making decisions on how the Employee Relief Fund monies get used are doing so wisely. And, I am very thankful to have the opportunity to work for a company that sees the importance of having an Employee Relief Fund. It is good to know that we have this opportunity to help our fellow team members.
