Former Mission Partners, let us welcome you back to OSF HealthCare!

Through our “come back” initiative, we honor the valuable experience of those who are returning to our Ministry in select roles after time away. This seniority-focused program allows eligible Mission Partners to have their most recent OSF work history added to their new seniority date when rejoining our team.

We are committed to supporting our Mission Partners and their transition back to work at OSF. Learn about the “come back” initiative and our other benefits: https://bit.ly/4qPPGeh
