For the second year in a row, Lexington Health has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the ‘Best Places to Work in Healthcare’.

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.

Healthcare organizations are evaluated on employee satisfaction, work-life balance, communication, policies, and practices.

“Being recognized by Modern Healthcare for the second consecutive year as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare reflects the culture of caring and commitment to teamwork that define Lexington Health," says Kirk Jenkins, president and CEO of Lexington Health. "Our team truly supports one another with compassion, respect and shared purpose to serving our patients and communities. I’m incredibly proud we have created an environment where people feel supported, valued, and inspired to make a difference every day.”

“Healthcare is changing rapidly as new technologies are adopted on both the clinical and administrative sides. Still, the most forward-looking companies understand that employees are the heart of their organizations. Creating the right culture, with the appropriate mix of financial rewards, training and career advancement opportunities — as embodied by our honorees of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare — will be imperative for long-term employee and employer success,” says Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare.

Lexington Health will find out its ranking on the Best Places list in September. For the full alphabetical list of ‘Best Places to Work’, click here.
