Wellbeing Highlight
Through town halls, regular communications, and many other venues you will get regular reminders and updates about wellbeing throughout the year.
Supporting your wellbeing with backup care and premium accounts.
MedStar Health is committed to helping you balance your demanding schedule with personal responsibilities. Through our partnership with Care.com, we’ve secured flexible and affordable caregiving solutions tailored to meet your needs.
Backup care for emergencies – Your choice, your support:
- Book a vetted caregiver through Care.com or hire your own trusted option, such as a friend or neighbor. This unique flexibility was requested by MedStar Health to ensure you have the care you trust.
- Enjoy subsidized rates: $8/hour for in-home care or $15/day at care centers.
- Up to 10 days of backup care available to all eligible associates in 2025.
Premium account features:
- Connect with caregivers, tutors, pet sitters, house sitters, and more.
- Note: Services beyond backup care are not subsidized.
Getting started is easy:
- Visit myHRMedStar.net/FamilyCare for details.
- Setup and manage your account at MedStar.Care.com.
Take advantage of these resources to simplify your caregiving needs, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on your wellbeing and professional success.
