Financial assistance when you need it
Banner Health is there for you even when times are challenging. The Supporting Our Staff (SOS) program provides financial assistance to Banner team members facing a temporary financial hardship. The SOS Fund was founded in 2011 as a partnership between the Banner Health Foundation and Banner’s Human Resources team and is funded through the generosity of fellow team members.
Requirements and qualifications
All eligible team members at Banner Health facilities, systemwide, qualify for the SOS program with supporting documentation. To qualify, you must be classified as regular full time or part time in Workday AND have served a minimum of six continuous months of employment with Banner.
Each team member is eligible for one $750 gift once in a 12-month period. Team members can qualify for SOS up to twice in a Banner career lifetime.
Better Together
We are better together! SOS is funded by fellow team members through online donations and annual giving campaigns so we can all support each other during difficult times. If you’d like to contribute to the SOS fund, you can do so through:
- Better Together, your region or facility’s annual team member giving campaign
- Online donations
- Payroll deductions
