For the first time, Forbes has evaluated these organizations to produce America’s Best Employers For Healthcare Professionals 2025 .
To create this new list, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 17,000 employees working for healthcare and social services providers employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their current employer to others and to rate it based on criteria including wages, working conditions and schedules, career advancement opportunities and safety. Participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their current employer to others and to rate it based on criteria including wages, working conditions and schedules, career advancement opportunities and safety. Survey respondents were also asked how likely they were to recommend a previous employer (within the last two years) and other healthcare organizations they knew through industry experience or through friends and family who had worked there. The responses were then analyzed and incorporated into a scoring system that also factored in data from the past three years of employer surveys at a lesser weight.
Ultimately, the 250 healthcare organizations with the highest scores made our inaugural list of America’s Best Employers For Healthcare Professionals, which is presented below.
