Email PageLowell General Hospital named 64th in Modern Healthcare’s fifth annual Best Places to Work in Healthcare
Award Recognizes Outstanding Employers in the Healthcare Industry on a National Level
Lowell General Hospital recently announced it has placed 64th in Modern Healthcare's 2012 Best Places to Work in Healthcare awards. The magazine's annual Best Places to Work in Healthcare program recognizes employers for creating workplaces in healthcare that enable employees to perform at their optimum level to provide patients and customers with the best possible patient care and services.
"This is an incredible testament to the dedication and quality of our staff," said Normand Deschene, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lowell General Hospital. "Our employees help make Lowell General Hospital an employer of choice in our region, and a trusted, high quality healthcare provider for the thousands of patients we serve each and every year."
Lowell General Hospital has implemented a wide variety of programs designed to reward, recognize and empower its employees while providing professional development opportunities, competitive benefits packages and a work environment that fosters shared decision making and continuous improvement.
"Being named to Modern Healthcare's list of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 demonstrates that Lowell General Hospital has built a culture where employees are supported and engaged, which benefits not only patients and customers but the employer's financial performance as well, " said Fawn Lopez, vice president and publisher of Modern Healthcare. "These healthcare employers are models for others who are seeking to build a successful culture, resulting in optimum performance levels and benefits for their organization."
This year's recognition program had applications from healthcare companies across the nation. Modern Healthcare revealed the ranked order of 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 at a banquet in Nashville on Oct. 9 that was attended by more than 450 healthcare professionals, including 83% of the winning organizations. The complete ranking was shared in a special supplement of the October 15 issue of Modern Healthcare, which recognized the top places to work by company size and will profile some of the recipients.
A video announcement, along with a ranked listing of the winners is now available.
