Wabash General Hospital has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in Healthcare in 2020. The complete list of this year’s winners, in alphabetical order, is available at ModernHealthcare.com/bestplaceslist.
Karissa Turner, President & CEO of Wabash General Hospital states, “I am extremely proud of the Wabash General Hospital team and all of their accomplishments during the unprecedented trying time of COVID. The recognition we received as being in the Top 50 is very much deserved by the staff members of WGH. They tirelessly go above and beyond to provide the best quality and customer service to all the communities we serve. Over the past several years, we have continued to grow and we now have 432 employees and clinics in six different counties. The supportive culture and uplifting work environment is exciting to experience. I want to thank the Board of Directors, Medical Staff, leadership and all staff for making WGH the best place to work. Without your commitment and loyalty to each other and the communities we serve this would not be possible. It’s an honor to work alongside a great group of people.”
"It has been an especially trying year for the world, and healthcare in particular as COVID-19 ravages our communities and your workplaces," said Aurora Aguilar, Modern Healthcare's editor. "But the organizations recognized on this year's list rose to the top and continued to be a source of strength for their teammates. They have seen their colleagues fall ill to the virus and struggled with the economic impact of the pandemic. The loyalty and trust between employers and their workers is being put to the test now more than ever. We congratulate the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for continuing to serve their workforce and communities during such an unprecedented time."
“The Best Places to Work in Healthcare Award is the direct result of the dedication of our valued employees. Their commitment to serve our patients and our community is what has driven our success. The survey taken by our employees this year, included questions about culture, benefits and teamwork, and also a new section was added with questions about how the COVID pandemic has affected WGH’s workplace. Throughout this challenging time, our employees continue to live up to our motto “People you Know Helping People You Love.” I am proud to work with such an amazing group of people who truly are the best,” stated Bridget Shepard, Chief Human Resources Officer.
This award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with the Best Companies Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.
