Sioux Falls, South Dakota — The company behind Sheldon’s hospital and several others in northwest Iowa and across the region is a great place to work, according to a healthcare media firm.
Officials with Sanford Health tell us their system has been named to Becker’s Healthcare 2023 edition of 150 top places to work in health care.
According to Becker’s, the hospitals, health systems and companies included on the list are “exceptional employers,” many of which invest in team members’ professional development, wellness benefits, and continued education. They say the list “honors healthcare establishments that are committed to advocating for diversity in the workplace, promoting work-life balance and boosting employee engagement.”
Bill Gassen, president and CEO of Sanford Health says that he’s incredibly proud that Sanford Health has been recognized by Becker’s as a top place to work in health care. He says, “Our Sanford Family is the heart of our organization. Each day, our people carry out Sanford Health’s mission to provide world-class care to all we serve. Their dedication to our patients, residents, communities and each other is embodied in our workplace culture, and we remain committed to providing a meaningful and supportive workplace environment.”
Sanford Health, along with its senior care division, the Good Samaritan Society, has 44,000 employees in 25 states and nine countries dedicated to patient care.
They tell us that diversity, equity, and inclusion have been a top goal for Sanford Health over the last 20 years, and the system has made strides with diversity councils, employee resource groups and military support. The Becker’s honor also recognized Sanford Health for offering competitive compensation and salary increases.
