CoxHealth named a ‘Best Place to Work’ by Modern Healthcare

CoxHealth is pleased to announce that, for the second year in a row, it has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare.

“CoxHealth's 12,500-plus employees are crucial to our mission, and we are honored to be recognized for our work in creating a culture that supports and appreciates our staff,” says Andy Hedgpeth, vice president of Human Resources at CoxHealth. “We join our teams in celebrating this award. Even more than awards, though, we take pride in the employees who support our organization and our patients by dedicating themselves to our mission through years-long careers here at CoxHealth.”

The Best Places to Work awards program was created to recognize companies that continuously strive to improve their work environment and increase employee engagement, satisfaction and retention through innovative changes in the workplace. It identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the health care industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with the Best Companies Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.

“I am enormously grateful for our staff who have served their community with courage and grace in the face of this pandemic,” says Steve Edwards, president and CEO of CoxHealth. “I believe the credit for this recognition rests squarely on the shoulders of our frontline leaders. They have worked to exhaustion and with unyielding resolve to support and protect our staff, as our staff has done the same for our community.”

CoxHealth will learn its 2022 ranking during Modern Healthcare’s awards gala on Sept. 29, 2022, in Nashville. The ranked list of winning companies will be published in a special supplement to the Oct. 3, 2022, issue of Modern Healthcare.
