About Us - Careers at HSS
At HSS, we recognize that our success rests on the satisfaction of our employees. And looking after our staff is critical to making us the world’s top hospital for orthopedics and rheumatology. Recognizing the individual contributions of our people is what sets us apart, because at the end of the day only the best is good enough – for us and for the patients we care for.
Our Mission
For over 150 years, HSS has inspired some of the greatest minds in orthopedics and rheumatology. But we’re not done yet. We’re constantly striving to break new ground and develop practices and techniques that enable us to continuously provide the highest quality of patient care.
The world of healthcare is constantly changing - evolving in new and exciting ways as clinical discoveries are made every day. So it’s essential we continue to innovate through research and education. By recognizing where we can improve, we will continue to be a global leader at the forefront of our field.
Our Values
Our values are at the heart of everything we do. They’re integral to how we achieve our mission and enable us to continually transform the lives of patients every day.
- We Prioritize Excellence: We hold ourselves to world-leading standards. We prioritize quality, safety, and effectiveness in everything we do and with every patient we serve.
- We Earn Trust Always: We build trust through clear, honest communication. We speak candidly, listen actively, and follow through on our commitments, especially when the stakes are high.
- We Own Our Impact: We take responsibility for our actions and the results they produce. We address issues directly, correct when needed, and ensure nothing important is left unresolved.
- We Improve Every Day: We stay curious and evidence-driven. We measure what matters and empower one another to learn, innovate, and adapt so tomorrow's care is better than today's.
- We Lift Each Other Up: We build a culture of teamwork, belonging, and fairness, where every voice matters and everyone can do their best work.
Our Culture
When you join HSS, you’ll experience a culture that’s both supportive and high-performing. Every day we come to work and do what we love: help people get back to doing what they love. Having that feeling of purpose and value is what drives our success. We’re committed to promoting a culture of excellence that inspires mutual respect and collaboration. We received the Gallup Great Workplace Award two years in a row to prove it. Here, you’ll be expected to push yourself in an environment built on compassion, trust and respect.
Nationally Recognized Success
HSS has repeatedly achieved national recognition as a leader in our field. We are nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics for 16 years in a row and No. 3 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report (2025-2026) and we recently received our fifth consecutive Magnet designation, the first hospital in New York State to do so.
