Best Places to Work in Healthcare 2022, 2023 and 2024

Unity Medical Center (UMC) has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in Heathcare for a third year in a row. This annual award program identifies and recognizes 150 outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Half of these organizations are a combination of healthcare providers and insurance companies while the other half are vendors.

Workforce is the # 1 challenge facing all healthcare providers nationwide and in spite of the challenge, two hospitals in North Dakota are continually creating an environment where employees are voicing their satisfaction with their work environment and are ranked at the top nationally. Identical to last year, Unity Medical Center and Jamestown Regional Medical Center are the only hospitals in North Dakota that made the list for 2024.

Employees enjoy working at Unity Medical Center and their two rural health clinics. This is what they have to say:

“Unity is a great supportive place to work. It allows staff to further their skills as warranted. It is very family friendly and has great benefits. I am very happy working here.”

“Unity is the best place to work because individuals are given the tools and means to excel and where employees are valued and appreciated.”

“I have worked at Grafton Family Clinic/Unity Medical Center for almost four years now. I joined the Unity family fresh out of school and was welcomed with open arms. Unity has become a home away from home. Coworkers have become family. Managers are very personable and professional. The clinic hours are fairly optimal for employees with families. Unity truly is the best place to work.”

“In 2018 my husband was diagnosed with cancer, and we had to go to Mayo for treatments. UMC helped me make that journey possible. This facility provides the employees with options, and I will be forever thankful for all that UMC has done for us. It truly is the best place to work.”

Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey with questions pertaining to how well employees feel they are treated by the organization, if they feel they are recognized appropriately, and if they are engaged with their work and helping to identify opportunities/strategies to improve the workplace culture and productivity.

UMC will find out their ranking on the Best Places list and be celebrated at the 2024 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala taking place October 10 in Nashville, TN.
