 and measure therapist and nurse turnover for our full-time employees on a quarterly and annual basis for significant trends and outliers, but we do not believe comparisons of our data to external turnover benchmarks are a valid representation, as they do not account for the variations in survey data across markets, hospital sizes, practice settings, and practice specialties. The table below shows those turnover rates for 2024 and 2023.

We support the long-term career aspirations of our employees through education and personal development.

•Education Opportunities. We offer our nurses an opportunity to advance their academic degrees at a reduced tuition rate of 30% to 50% of the total program cost. Educational webinars and system-wide group starts are offered to promote participation. Additionally, our full-time inpatient nursing and therapy staff have unlimited access to online education and training to ensure continuing education units are available at no cost.

•Tuition Reimbursement/Scholarship Programs. Employees also have the opportunity to advance their education through our tuition reimbursement and scholarship programs. We reimbursed over $1.1 million in tuition and paid over $4.0 million toward employees’ student loan debt in 2024.

•Academic Endowments. We endowed five scholarships for deserving students pursuing degrees in nursing and allied health fields.

•Therapy Grants. We fund research projects to investigate the impact and effectiveness of therapy in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. In recent years, we have funded studies and research on topics ranging from caregiver education to the effectiveness of occupation-centered interventions. The program is open to qualified candidates, including employees.
