Employment Policies
Lifespan has taken, and will continue to take, affirmative action to ensure that all employees and applicants for employment and transfer/promotion at all Lifespan affiliates, are treated without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification or expression, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. Lifespan is committed to make employment decisions based on valid, job-related criteria and to recruit and select qualified applicants on the basis of education, skill, experience and ability.
“Every day, our hospitals treat patients suffering from the health effects of smoking. In January 2012, Lifespan Hospitals implemented a hiring policy and practice that prohibits hiring anyone who uses tobacco products. It is also hospital policy to require all new employees, including House Officers, to undergo and pass a pre-employment drug screening. The Hospital will make a determination of whether the information revealed by any required drug screening test renders the House Officer ineligible for acceptance into the training program.”
