Forty-four health systems were featured on Forbes’ 2025 list of America’s Best Employers for New Grads.
The list, published May 20 in partnership with market research firm Statista, is based on survey responses from more than 100,000 professionals with less than 10 years of work experience who are employed by companies with at least 1,000 U.S. employees.
Respondents rated their employers on factors including wages, benefits, growth opportunities, flexibility and inclusion. Survey data from the last three years was considered, with recent responses weighted more heavily. Companies do not pay a fee to participate.
