Rewards & Benefits

Our Rewards & Benefits package not only gives you the total benefits you want, but also goes above and beyond with innovative programs to develop your skills – helping you grow and thrive at the American Heart Association.

Your Development

Once you join the AHA, we want to help you grow and thrive. We can help you to achieve what you never thought possible. Your professional and personal development is a priority to us. We work proactively to create a supportive environment where managers are encouraged to guide you and help you be the best you can be, and colleagues are expected to collaborate and share one another’s goals. Ongoing learning is an integral part of your development too. The AHA provides a world-class online knowledge center called Heart U, with hundreds of free career-oriented courses designed to help you be better at what you do and give you every opportunity to expand your leadership capabilities. Our mentoring program lets you broaden your horizons and knowledge through the experience and perspective of a colleague, allowing you to grow further and become an even more valuable member of our team.

Our Total Rewards program offers very competitive benefits, PTO, retirement and many other perks to show that we really do care about our employees. Below is a brief overview of what we offer:

Health Benefits

Employees scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the medical plan the first of the month following 30 days of service. AHA subsidizes the medical and dental cost for you and your covered dependents to ensure benefits are affordable including domestic partners (same or opposite sex).

Medical

Few things are more important than our health. AHA offers comprehensive medical plan options with different levels of coverage and cost so that you may choose the plan that best meets your individual and family needs. Our plans focus on wellness and provide preventative screenings at 100% coverage in‐network.

Dental

Our dental plan gives you the flexibility to use a participating network of dentists or a dentist of your choice. The plan is designed to encourage preventative care, which is covered at 100%, as well as coverage for basic and advanced dental services.

Vision

Vision benefits offer coverage for routine eye examinations as well as glasses or contact lenses at various levels depending on whether services are provided by an in-network or out‐of‐network provider.

Retirement Plans

AHA’s Retirement Plans are designed to assist employees in maintaining financial independence during retirement years. AHA’s plans offers you a way to start for your future. Our retirement plans include:

  • 403(b) Supplemental Tax Deferred Annuity (TDA)
  • 401(a) Qualified Retirement Plan
  • 403(b) Pension Plan

Disability and Insurance

For those unplanned life events, AHA offers our employees different disability options as well as several insurance options to take care of you and your family. Our disability and retirement plans include:

  • Short-Term Disability
  • Long-Term Disability
  • Life and Supplemental Life Insurance for you and your dependents
