CoxHealth nationally recognized as a ‘best employer’

Forbes has recognized CoxHealth as one of America’s Best Employers in 2019. The first-ever ranking by Forbes of the top employers by state has CoxHealth as No. 18 in Missouri out of all industry types, the No. 3 health system in Missouri out of 156 hospitals in the state, and the No. 1 best health care employer in southwest Missouri. The list is based on results of an independent survey of more than 80,000 employees across the nation who ranked companies based on their likelihood to recommend the employer, and work-related topics such as working conditions, salary, professional development and company image.

CoxHealth in the news

Proud to work at CoxHealth

“The last two days I have had two family emergencies that landed us in our Emergency Department. The staff and doctors were so amazing with both my daughters, even the person stocking supplies was very kind. Having this kind of staff makes me proud to work for CoxHealth.”

Voice of the patient

​“Everybody from the time I walked in the door was beyond amazing. They treated me like I was their special friend and you don't know how much that means to me. Cox Monett should be rated in the Top 5 hospitals of the state. If anything happens to me again Cox Monett is where I will go.”
