Are you in search of a fulfilling and meaningful position? Do you want to work for an organization that promotes growth and development?
Here at Men's Health Foundation, we envision a world where inequity and stigma do not separate people from healthcare.
"Reimagining Healthcare" is our commitment to affirming the unique experience of every patient. We prioritize our patients’ evolving needs and strive to help each patient feel comfortable, understood, and respected.
Why Men's Health Foundation?
Men's Health Foundation is seeking compassionate, mission-driven individuals. We believe that by reimagining how healthcare is delivered, we can help create greater health equity for those most at risk, breaking down barriers to care. We welcome all backgrounds, gender identities, and expressions.
We recognize our staff as the heart of our organization and seek to provide a generous and competitive benefits package to support our employee's well-being. We offer the following:

- 11 Paid Holidays + 1 mental health day
- 401(k) Retirement plan (may be eligible for employer matching up to 4% following completion of 90th day of employment)
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- 40 hours of sick pay (following completion of 90th day of employment)
- 120 hours of PTO accrued within the 1st year of employment
We seek team members who embrace and champion diversity, as our work within the LGBTQ+ community promotes positive sexuality and inclusivity. Candidates should be comfortable with exposure to imagery, events, and materials that reflect our culture of acceptance and expression, ensuring alignment with our values.
