“With all the economic uncertainty, staffing challenges, and folks wanting more flexible work setups, every company has to get clever about how they attract and hold onto talent,” noted Dan Peres, President of Modern Healthcare. “The winners of the 2024 Best Places to Work awards really get it. They show us how vital it is to understand what employees want and need right now. With healthcare shifting so much, finding the right people is a top priority, and the winners know that keeping their team happy is the key to business success.”

BSW TSJH is honored to have a place on the list.

“We are honored to be recognized as a top employer by Modern Healthcare. Our staff tenure is a significant contributor to the hospital’s success,” stated Tony Wahl, CEO of BSW TSJH. “Welcoming, well-trained staff and expert physicians combine to produce satisfied patients. We are fortunate to have all three,” added Wahl.

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.

UT Health was also pleased with the recognition.
