Eighty-three healthcare organizations landed on Time’s list of “America’s Best Companies of 2026.”

The July 9 list was created in partnership with Statista to evaluate and rank U.S. companies on employee satisfaction, financial performance and sustainability transparency. The top 1,000 companies made the list.

While technology companies overall dominated the list, some healthcare organizations reached the top 10, including pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly and Merck. Several insurers were also featured, and two health systems that operate hospitals: Birmingham, Ala.-based Encompass Health, and Franklin, Tenn.-based Acadia Healthcare.
