From hotel deals to hot rates on top brands like Carhartt, Crocs, and Disney, getting special deals and discounts is a major perk of working in healthcare. Here’s a quick guide on how to find the best discounts for healthcare workers, and the easiest ways to score the deals available to you.
Discounts for Healthcare Workers: Where to Begin
Did you know that you can get huge discounts on travel gear, resort and hotel stays, and even your next shopping trip, just because you're a medical professional? It’s true — and you might be surprised at just how many discounts and special rates are up for grabs.
We’re not just talking about free coffee on National Nurses Day, either. Whether you're a nurse, advanced practitioner, tech, therapist, first responder, or pretty much any other type of healthcare professional, you're eligible for deep discounts on hundreds of items, services, meals, and more, all across the country.
And that can add up to hundreds of dollars in savings every year — or every month, if you’ve got a big shopping list. (And with the holidays coming up, who doesn't!)
With that in mind, here’s a rundown of where to find the best discounts for healthcare workers, and how to start taking advantage, STAT!
