More than 100 healthcare organizations ranked among the 500 U.S. employers named to Forbes’ 2027 list of “America’s Dream Employers.”
Forbes released the third-annual list Oct. 27. It was developed with market research firm Statista using surveys of more than 10,000 U.S. college students and more than 142,000 U.S. employees at companies with at least 1,000 workers in the country. Students named the employers they viewed as dream workplaces, said how eager they would be to land an offer and rated each company on factors such as growth opportunities, quality of work, salary and reputation.
Employees also named their dream employers and said whether they would recommend their current employer or one they had worked for within the past two years. Current employees rated their organizations on wages, health benefits, professional development, working conditions and their ability to share ideas.
Forbes also factored in data from the past three years of its employee surveys with Statista, giving more weight to current employees’ responses and to more recent data. Each employer received a score, and the 500 highest-scoring companies made the list. Companies do not pay a fee to participate or be selected, according to Forbes.
Here are the healthcare organizations featured, along with their headquarters city and rank out of 500.
Editor’s note: The organizations included fall under the following Forbes categories: drugs and biotechnology, healthcare and social services, insurance, and medical equipment and services. Oracle and Epic fall under the IT software and services category but are included below due to their healthcare focus.
