Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive health network, is proud to announce that Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have selected the hospital network for the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ List. This is the second consecutive year Hackensack Meridian Health was named to this prestigious list, coming in 4th this year in the large company category. Earning a spot means that Hackensack Meridian Health is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces in Health Care award is based on an analysis of survey responses from nearly 228,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the health care industry.

“Earning a spot on Fortune’s Best Places to Work in Health Care list for the second year in a row is a true testament to our remarkable team members,” said Robert C.

This recognition reflects not only the strength of our health network, but also our commitment to creating an environment where our team members can thrive and continue to deliver world-class care.”

The Best Workplaces in Health Care list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

Earlier this year, Hackensack Meridian Health was also ranked number 72 on Fortune Media and Great Place to Work ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ list.
