For Dawn Knight, giving monthly to Vail Health Behavioral Health was an easy decision. After years of working in some of the most demanding areas of health care, she believes every organization needs more support. Knowing that the Precourt Healing Center, where she works as a PRN nurse, was built through benefactor generosity deepened that connection for her.

"We are all in this together, and what I do actually does affect other people. It's an incredible opportunity to be part of that change," says Dawn.

JOB SEEKERS PSA - How to Spot a Fake Job Offer: Online recruitment scams are on the rise, with bad actors creating clever look-alike emails to impersonate trusted organizations like Vail Health. We want to help you stay safe in your Vail Health job search by breaking down the anatomy of a fake offer.

Here are some red flags of employment fraud and how to better protect your personal data:

RED FLAG 1: THE LOOK-ALIKE DOMAIN: Scammers often buy domains that look incredibly close to a real company (e.g., adding words like "careers" or "hr" to the URL).

Our Standard: Official communications from Vail Health will only come from an .org email address. If you see a variation, it’s not us.

RED FLAG 2: THE INSTANT HIRE: If an email claims you've been hired for a competitive, high-paying role without a rigorous, live interview process, be highly suspicious.

Our Standard: We believe in meaningful connection. We will never extend an employment offer without a formal, live video or in-person interview first.

RED FLAG 3: THE "EQUIPMENT CHECK:" If a company promises to mail you a check so you can buy your own laptop or onboarding software from their "approved vendor," it is almost always a counterfeit check scam.

Our Standard: We fully supply our team members with the technology they need. We will never send you a check or ask you to advance funds to set up your workstation.

THE GOLDEN RULE: When in doubt, bypass the email entirely. Go straight to the source by verifying and applying for open roles directly at vailhealth.org/careers. And if you see an opportunity you like, please apply!
