Taking care of your health is an important part of your success on assignment. That includes both physical health and mental well-being, especially as you adjust to new routines, expectations, and environments.

To support you, Health Carousel provides access to a range of benefits and resources as part of your overall experience. These are designed to help you stay well, recharge when needed, and find help when challenges arise.

This overview explains the types of support available to support you on assignment.

Support for Your Physical Health

Healthcare professionals working in the US receive medical, dental, and vision coverage through an employer-sponsored benefits plan. Once enrolled, these benefits may help with:

Doctor visits for illness, injury, or general care
Access to prescription medications
Preventive care, such as vaccinations and health screenings
Dental and vision services

In the United States, it is common for part of the cost of coverage to be deducted from an employee’s paycheck. This shared-cost model helps reduce the amount you would pay for care on your own.

More information about available plans and how to enroll is provided once your assignment begins.

Support for Your Mental and Emotional Health

Mental health is considered an important part of overall well-being in the United States. Many benefit plans include access to mental health resources, which may support you through:

Counseling or therapy with licensed professionals
Tools to manage stress, anxiety, or burnout
Educational resources that support emotional wellness

Some mental health support services may be included in your benefit plan. Others may be available to all healthcare professionals regardless of enrollment. These resources are meant to support you both at work and in life, especially as you adjust to new experiences.

A Connected System of Support

Health and wellness benefits are one part of the broader support system in place during your assignment. From benefit options to wellness tools to the teams available to help you use them, this support is designed to help you feel informed, cared for, and confident.

Knowing what types of resources are available helps you feel more prepared and better equipped to use them when needed.
