1199 SEIU Funds

At the heart of what we do is a culture of unwavering commitment to the healthcare workers who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Founded in 1945, the 1199SEIU Funds have grown into one of the strongest and largest labor-management funds in the nation, driven by a mission to build better lives for our members and invest in the workforce to improve patient care and the healthcare industry as a whole. We believe that those who serve on the frontlines of health and wellness deserve the utmost security, support, and peace of mind. Our comprehensive suite of benefits—spanning healthcare, defined monthly pensions, training, educational advancement, job security, and child care—is designed to empower our members at every stage of their lives and careers.

Our organizational culture is deeply rooted in solidarity, equity, and holistic well-being. We recognize that true health extends beyond the workplace, which is why we champion initiatives that support work-life balance, mental health, and family stability. Through the collaborative efforts of our Benefit and Pension, Training and Employment, and Child Care Funds, we provide a robust safety net for over 450,000 working and retired healthcare industry workers and their families. By fostering an environment of continuous learning and professional development, we not only uplift our members but also elevate the standard of care across the entire healthcare spectrum. At 1199SEIU Funds, we are more than just an administrative body; we are a dedicated community standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the everyday heroes of healthcare, ensuring they have the resources, respect, and opportunities they need to thrive both personally and professionally.
