The Colleague Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) is part of an overall wellness approach designed to nurture a culture that supports our ability to care for ourselves as well as we care for our patients. By caring for ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually, we can be at our best while we are at work and in other areas of our lives.
The CEAP helps alleviate financial stress for System Office colleagues in areas of need including food supply, medications, house fires, funerals, rent or house payments or utilities such as gas, electricity or water, essential transportation needs, medical bills, and travel associated with the approved items listed above to address the immediate extraordinary situation or need.
System Office Colleagues eligible for support through the CEAP receive assistance through a grant, not repaid by the colleague, to a third-party vendor, or a pay-roll advance, which is repaid through payroll deductions over 9-12 months.
By supporting the CEAP, you help us respond with compassion and respect when System Office colleagues experience financial hardship.
