Alia Paavola -

Twenty-six hospitals and health systems were named to Forbes' annual list of "America's best large employers."

For its list, Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to survey Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. Survey participants were asked about their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family and were asked to nominate organizations other than their own. The final list ranks 500 large employers that received the most recommendations from the survey.
