Prime Healthcare includes 44 hospitals and more than 300
outpatient locations in 14 states, serving over 2.6 million
patients annually. Prime is one of the nation’s leading health
systems recognized nationally for award winning clinically
excellent care, patient safety, health equity and social
responsibility.
“Finding a great workplace is an important decision that needs
to factor in pay, respect, training and advancement as well as
healthy work-life balance,” said Nancy Cooper, Newsweek Global
Editor in Chief. “Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A
Insights are proud to publish ‘America’s Greatest Workplaces 2024,’
the second annual ranking that highlights companies which are
committed to offering a positive and supportive working
environment.”
Prime Healthcare recognizes the importance of diversity in its
workforce and is committed to equal opportunity for all applicants
and employees by creating an environment where everyone, with their
diverse backgrounds and identities, can feel valued, included, and
inspired.
“At Prime, it is our philosophy that all great health care
starts with a local approach, and that quality of care is
reflective of having a diverse workforce that is supported and
engaged in our mission of saving and improving hospitals to deliver
compassionate, quality care,” said Sunny Bhatia, MD, President and
Chief Medical Officer of Prime Healthcare. “This honor by Newsweek
and Plant-A Insights reassures us in our commitment to employee
satisfaction and engagement, with nurses, physicians and all staff
committed to high quality, compassionate healthcare.”
Prime Healthcare’s consistent DEI initiatives for employees,
combined with its commitment to understanding a patient’s social
determinants of health, are important for employee and patient
experience and better health outcomes, and key to retaining
qualified, engaged employees. Prime Healthcare has been honored in
the past by The Joint Commission and National Quality Forum at the
National Level for developing and implementing a cohesive and
system-wide approach to addressing social determinants of
health.
Earlier this year, Prime Healthcare was recognized as one of
America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing by Newsweek and
Plant-A Insights Group. The ranking survey conducted included
responses from more than 250,000 young professionals and more than
1.5 million company reviews.
In addition to its own proprietary health and wellness app that
was designed for staff and physicians, Prime Healthcare offers
employees a best-in-class Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The
Prime EAP provides team members access to free short-term
counseling for assistance with emotional concerns. The EAP also
connects employees to resources beyond just confidential emotional
support, including legal guidance and personal finance management
resources.
Prime’s mental health and wellness app, called “In Prime
Health,” was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues
to support users. The app features virtual meditation and yoga,
relaxing symphony music and podcasts on issues staff may be dealing
with, as well as a crisis hotline employees can use to get help for
substance abuse and a scannable QR code that allows them to
directly access counseling.
Year over year, Prime Healthcare hospitals are recognized for
their clinical excellence, health equity and value. This year,
Prime Healthcare hospitals have received more than 200 clinical
quality awards from Healthgrades, and more Prime hospitals are
Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients from Healthgrades than

have also been recognized among the 100 Top Hospitals in the nation

excellence.
