Begin a Rewarding Career - Join Keystone Healthcare’s Team of Professionals

Keystone Health is a public, non-profit organization employing more than 300 caring and compassionate physicians, nurses and staff members who provide quality health care to individuals and families with and without health insurance.

Co-founded in 1986 by Joanne Cochran, president and CEO, Keystone Health Center operates as a network of six primary care sites - Keystone Family Medicine, Keystone Behavioral Health, Keystone Internal Medicine, Keystone Dental Care, Keystone Women's Care, and Franklin County Pediatrics - and one specialty practice, Franklin County Heart Center, in Chambersburg, PA. The Keystone Healthcare Network also includes a year-round migrant and seasonal farmworker site in Berks County and a seasonal farmworker site in Adams County.

Our Mission

At Keystone Health our mission is to eliminate barriers to health care by providing affordable, accessible and compassionate medical, dental and support services to men, women and children of all ages, races and economic backgrounds. As we continue to work toward increasing access to health care for the uninsured and underserved, we are also faced with understanding patient needs that go well beyond basic primary health care. Differing cultures, varied languages, and other barriers prevent many people from seeking medical care that could promote a healthier lifestyle and result in improved health status. By recognizing such needs, Keystone has made it a part of its mission to adapt and meet the requirements of special populations, offering a system of health care delivery that ensures primary health care for all, regardless of special circumstances.

Keystone is reaching out to immigrants, migrant farmworkers, homeless people, at-risk children, the frail elderly, residents of public housing, a broad range of racial, ethnic and language groups, and those at risk for HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and other chronic and catastrophic diseases.

Benefits

We pride ourselves in providing an Employee Benefit Program that is fair to our employees and competitive with the programs offered by practices of a similar nature. Eligible employees at Keystone Health are offered a wide range of benefits, some of which require contributions from employees, but most of which are fully paid by Keystone Health Center. A number of the programs (such as Social Security, workers' compensation, state disability, and unemployment insurance) cover all employees in the manner prescribed by the law.

Some of our employee benefits based on meeting eligibility requirements are listed below:

Auto Mileage Reimbursement
Continuing Medical Education
Bereavement Leave
Dental Insurance
Vision Insurance
Educational Leave
Employee Vision Care Discounts
Jury Duty Leave
Voting Leave
Comprehensive Medical
Insurance
Membership Dues
Free Parking
Business Travel Allowance
Witness Duty Leave

Employee insurance coverage paid by Keystone Health may vary depending upon the position and employment status of the employee. Regular part-time employees working at least 25 or more hours per week are eligible to receive a portion of their medical and insurance coverage paid by Keystone Health. You can inquire about further details during the job interview.

1. MEDICAL INSURANCE. The Keystone Health flexible benefit program includes a choice of medical plans, each with different costs and levels of coverage (individual, two-party and family coverage). Employee coverage commences effective on the first day of the month following hire date, for full time or a part time status regularly working at least 25 hours per week.

Keystone Health's basic medical insurance plan is its Comprehensive Major Medical plan with a $750 deductible. Eligible employees, depending upon the available options from time to time, may be offered alternatives to the Comprehensive Major Medical plan that carry lower deductible, for example, either a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan or a Point of Service (POS) plan. Regular employees who select one of these plans pay additional premium costs through payroll deductions (i.e., the difference between the premium for the alternative plan and the amount that Keystone Health Center would pay for coverage under the Comprehensive Major Medical Plan).

2. DENTAL INSURANCE. Basic Dental coverage is available for individual, two-party and family coverage.

3. LIFE INSURANCE. Keystone Health provides regular full-time employees and regular part-time employees who work at least 25 hours per week with Group Term Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Coverage as a part of its flexible benefit program. Employees may also purchase additional voluntary group life and dependent life coverage through payroll deductions.

4. OTHER INSURANCE. Short and long-term disability and vision coverage, payable through payroll deductions, is available at group rates for regular employees who work at least 25 hours per week.

Loan Payback Programs

State: Under the Pennsylvania Primary Health Care Practitioner Loan Repayment Program, eligible primary care providers may apply for loan repayment aid if they are employed continuously for a four-year time period in a full-time primary care practice at an approved location in a Health Professional Shortage Area.

This program was recently enhanced and offers an opportunity for two additional years of loan repayment aid. Physicians, RN’s individuals with extended nursing certificates are eligible to apply.

Keystone Health is an approved location for state loan repayment program participants. To find the eligibility requirements and see how the state loan repayment program works, visit the state’s website at www.dsf.health.state.pa.us/health/CWP/view.asp?A=169, and click on the Loan Repayment Program link.

Federal: Through the federal National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program, operated by the Health Resources and Services Administration, fully trained health professionals who are dedicated to working with the underserved and have qualifying educational loans are eligible to compete for repayment of those loans if they choose to serve in a community of greatest need. In addition to loan repayment, these clinicians receive a competitive salary, some tax relief benefits, and a chance to have a significant impact on a community.

Keystone Health is an approved location for federal loan repayment program participants. To learn the details of the federal loan repayment program, visit http://nhsc.bhpr.hrsa.gov/join_us/lrp.asp.
