The complete list of this year’s winners, in alphabetical order, is available. Modern Healthcare will publish a special supplement featuring a ranked list of all the winners with the October issue of MH magazine.

 “Healthcare is changing rapidly as new technologies are adopted on both the clinical and administrative sides,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Still, the most forward-looking companies understand that employees are the heart of their organizations. Creating the right culture, with the appropriate mix of financial rewards, training and career advancement opportunities — as embodied by our honorees of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare — will be imperative for long-term employee and employer success.”

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our colleagues and the culture they help strengthen every day,” said Joe Hernandez, CEO of Valley Regional Medical Center. “We are proud to create an environment where team members feel supported, valued and empowered to provide compassionate care for our communities.”

This award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.

Valley Regional Medical Center will find out their ranking on the Best Places list and be celebrated at the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala taking place Sept. 16 in Houston.
