Invested in You

Medical, Dental & Vision

From preventive services to ongoing wellness support, our benefits help provide peace of mind so you can focus on what matters most both at work and at home.

Lifestyle
Accounts

We believe supporting our employees means investing in the whole person, not just the work they do. Our Lifestyle Account program offers flexible reimbursement options designed to support your health, well-being, financial goals, and everyday life. Employees may be eligible for reimbursement of expenses such as gym memberships, fitness programs, worksite clothing, pet care, tuition, student loan payments, and more. This unique benefit empowers team members to choose the resources that matter most to them, helping them thrive personally and professionally.

Company-Paid &
Voluntary Benefits

At Mercy Flights, we understand that financial security and peace of mind are important for you and your family. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of company-paid and voluntary benefits designed to help protect you from life’s unexpected challenges. Company-paid life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage provide a strong foundation, while voluntary options such as additional life insurance, critical illness, and accident benefits allow you to tailor coverage to your needs. These valuable benefits are designed to support your health, well-being, and financial stability now and in the future.

Retirement
Plan

Planning for your future starts today. Our competitive retirement plan helps employees build long-term financial security through convenient savings opportunities and valuable employer support. Whether you’re just beginning your career or preparing for retirement, we’re committed to helping you achieve your financial goals.

Earned
Time Off

We recognize the value of work-life balance and believe time away from work is essential. Our earned time off program rewards employees with increasing time away from work opportunities based on their years of service, allowing you to rest, recharge, spend time with family, and enjoy the activities that matter most as your career grows with us.

Company-Provided Uniforms

We make it easy for employees to arrive ready for success. Company-provided uniforms help create a professional appearance, foster team pride, and eliminate the expense and uncertainty of work attire. It’s one more way we support our team and ensure employees have the tools they need to represent our organization with confidence.

Why the Rogue Valley?

  Cost of Living

The Rogue Valley is a very affordable place to live. Cost of living, property taxes and state income taxes are lower than most big cities on west coast.  Our average commute is only about 15 minutes, so you save a lot on gas and time. Recreation is in abundance as well which generally has a nice, often free, price tag for entertainment.

  Climate

If you heard that it rains a lot in Oregon, you have not visited the Rogue Valley. We enjoy close to 200 days of sunshine per year with less than half the rain of Portland or Eugene. Summertime temperatures rarely rise above 100 degrees, and snow doesn’t often make it to the valley floor. It stays in the mountains making local skiing at Mt. Ashland a joy.

  The Outdoors

Our region is known for its world-class outdoor activities. Our team especially enjoys the many golf courses, parks, rivers and mountains for biking, hiking, skiing, boating, you name it.

”Work should be fun and fulfilling, should it not? Check out this video for a glimpse into our culture.
