Burke’s culture is driven by its values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Exceeding Expectations, and Service Excellence (C.A.R.E.S.), which were chosen by employees as the organization’s defining qualities.

Burke’s successes – which include multiple national recognitions as a top rehabilitation hospital, the country’s lowest rehabilitation hospital readmission rate, and an impressive year-over-year inpatient and outpatient growth, including outpatient expansion – are a direct result of the values-based culture of collaboration and trust fostered across the organization.

“It’s an honor to again be recognized as one of Westchester County’s Best Places to Work,” said Burke Rehabilitation’s Executive Director Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE. “Our team provides the steadfast foundation for Burke’s mission, values, and successes. Every member of staff, no matter their department or site, truly helps our patients reach their full potential. At Burke, every member of our workforce is a part of our Burke family, and we could not be prouder.”

Burke’s employees enjoy a comprehensive health and retirement benefits program, mental health and support services through its Employee Assistance Program, and a cardiac rehab program. Additionally, employees have access to Burke’s on-site fitness center, discounted meals, and fun events. Burke also thoughtfully supports employees by ensuring competitive, market rate salaries, and opportunities for career development. In addition to supporting its employees, Burke also works to shape the future of the physician and medical rehabilitation workforce through its prestigious Graduate Medical Education program.

“Being named one of Westchester County’s Best Places to Work is a special honor because it symbolizes the unwavering support of our employees,” said Maureen O’Shea, SHRM-CP, Burke’s Vice President of Human Resources. “This recognition demonstrates our employees’ commitment to helping each patient who comes through our doors achieve their maximum functional recovery and reach their personalized goals for the future.”
