100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare
St. Luke's Hospital ranked 22nd on Modern Healthcare's inaugural 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare list, making it the highest ranking hospital in St. Louis. The new program recognizes workplaces in healthcare that enable employees to perform at their optimum level to provide patients and customers with the best possible care and services. To determine these workplaces, Modern Healthcare entered into a partnership with the Best Companies Group, a Harrisburg, Pa.-based firm that conducts regional "best places to work" programs across the country.
On behalf of Modern Healthcare, the Best Companies Group conducted two surveys of healthcare companies across the nation that volunteered to participate in the program. The first survey was a questionnaire for the participating employer. The second was a satisfaction survey of the participating employer's employees.
