Adirondack Health is a modern health care system located in the heart of the Adirondacks – a six-million-acre park with sprawling mountains and glistening lakes.
The welcoming communities are a great place to raise a family and provide endless opportunities for hiking, biking, cross-country and downhill skiing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, climbing, camping and so much more in the great outdoors.
Our patients and residents are often our friends, our family members, our neighbors, and this deep community connection inspires us and drives us to provide excellent healthcare, close to home. We couldn't do that without our gifted and caring staff.
Our goal is to provide a depth of services to those who value a positive work-lifestyle balance. We are the only full-service health system in the Adirondack Park, providing residents and visitors alike with exceptional care.
We want our employees to feel at home, and part of the Adirondack Health family. When you come on board here, our talented staff provides an informative orientation that will help new employees not only find their way around our campuses, but it’s an in-depth look at what services each of our departments offer here.
It’s important to us that our employees succeed, so we offer mentorship programs for our nursing staff and directors. It’s a chance to pair up with a seasoned Adirondack Health employee who can help guide you through your first months on the job, be there to support you and answer any questions you may have.
We believe that leaders should be developed within our organization. New in 2019, Adirondack Health now offers a leadership development course, CLIMBS (Creating Leaders, Inspiring Mentors, Building Success) which aims to foster the professional growth of up-and-coming Adirondack Health employees.
We also provide a generous tuition reimbursement program for our employees with the opportunity to elevate their education and excel here.
Adirondack Health offers a generous benefit package for its employees. Management benefits may differ, so please contact Teri Stiles, associate HR generalist, at 518-897-2413 for more information.

Our cafeteria at Adirondack Medical Center provides delicious, wholesome fresh foods with a Farm to Patient approach. From its locally farmed salad greens, fruits and vegetables and yogurts to the locally raised meats, nearly a dozen local farms help bring an array of food choices at a discounted price for employees. Our patients consistently rave about the meals here in our surveys. We even have a fresh-food vending machine and great take-out meals because we know a nutritious meal is important at any hour when you work in health care.
Adirondack Health is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all patients, families, employees, medical and associate medical staff, volunteers, contractors, subcontractors, and vendors.
