Thompson among top places to work

For the sixth time, UR Medicine Thompson Health has earned a spot on the “150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare” list released by Becker’s Hospital Review.

According to the monthly publication featuring business and legal information for healthcare industry leaders, the 2023 list highlights hospitals, health systems and healthcare companies that “provide comprehensive benefits packages, opportunities for professional development, inclusive work environments and the flexibility needed for a true work-life balance.”

“These honorees prove that when employees’ needs and desires are met, the entire organization is better for it — they are able to make a greater impact on the lives of patients,” Becker’s said in a March 23 article announcing the list.

This year, there is a total of seven New York health-related organizations on the list; Thompson is the only one outside of the New York City area. The list includes some better-known health systems such as the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

“Being named to this list for the sixth time is just as exciting to us as it was the first time, back in 2015,” said Thompson Health Vice President of Associate Services and Wellness Jennifer DeVault. “This is a time when people who have devoted their lives to healthcare are really looking for workplaces where they feel both valued and empowered, and we want them to know Thompson offers a unique corporate culture and exceptional colleagues.”

According to Becker’s, the annual list of 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare is based on nominations and editorial research. Organizations do not pay and cannot pay for inclusion on the list.
