The Heart Hospital of Lafayette offers a competitive benefits program that is a part of our employees' total compensation program. We believe that our benefits program is valuable to our employees because it offers protection from catastrophic health-related financial issues. Because many of the benefits are paid for with before-tax dollars, the employee also realizes a tax savings.
