About Steadfast Health

At Steadfast Health, we believe that peer support is not just a component of care, it’s foundational to recovery. Peers bring lived experience, empathy, and connection in ways that traditional models often overlook, and we’ve built our care model to reflect that. Steadfast was founded to set a new standard in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment by delivering low-barrier, high-quality care that meets patients where they are. We combine evidence-based practices with deeply human support, creating space for every patient’s recovery journey, on their terms.

As we grow, so does our commitment to building a care team that reflects the communities we serve. Peer services are instrumental to our success, and we are proud to invest in a team that honors the powerful role peers play in healing, trust-building, and long-term engagement.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
