Meet the organization: MedAmerica has a longstanding tradition of being recognized for its workplace culture. The company has been listed as a "Best Place to Work in the Bay Area" by San Francisco Business Times for the past eight years, and it has received the Fit-Friendly Worksite Gold Achievement Award from the American Heart Association for the past six years. MedAmerica established a Wellness Committee in 2006 to provide health and wellness education and resources to employees, including a massage therapy program, fitness classes, complimentary fitness center access and weight loss competitions. The company also holds bi-monthly all staff meetings with the CEO to give employees the opportunity to directly interact with the CEO and other leadership members.
Added benefits: MedAmerica matches $1.20 per $1.00 of the first 6 percent of employee's contribution to a 401(k). Employees can take advantage of a Birthday Holiday — a day off during the pay period of their birthday — and the company's comprehensive benefits package is extended to domestic partners.
