“At Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, we’re proud of how our 12,000 Associates, 2,000 physicians and academic partners work together every day to care for the patients and families we serve,” said Carol Ross-Spang, Chief Human Resources Officer, for MLH. “Being named to this list is an incredible testament to the strong culture our Associates have created for nearly 100 years. Together, they are not only creating a better experience for patients and families, but also for each other.”
This year’s Best Workplaces in Health Care stand out for creating workplaces that employees say make them feel good about what they do and close to their coworkers.
“Employees at the Best Workplaces in Health Care are working in a family-like atmosphere where everyone’s got each other’s back and they’re working toward a common goal of taking care of people,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®. “And the organizations that foster these inspiring, collegial cultures benefit by becoming talent magnets.”
To create the list, Great Place to Work® surveyed close to 34,500 employees at 51 health care organizations, including hospital systems, home health care providers, national health care associations, and medical products distributors.
