King’s Daughters Medical Center in Brookhaven has been ranked No. 74 among healthcare hospitals and healthcare organizations in Modern Healthcare’s 2022 Best Places to Work award program.

This is the ninth time in the past 11 years that KDMC has made the list.

“Congratulations to the KDMC family for earning Best Places to Work recognition again,” KDMC CEO Scott Christensen said. “I am proud of our accomplishment and the dedication shown each day to fulfilling of our mission of always providing quality health and wellness in a Christian environment.”

Modern Healthcare partnered with the Best Companies Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey. While this program has evolved over the years, its mission remains the same: recognizing workplaces that empower employees to provide patients and customers the best possible care, products and services.

As the healthcare industry sits squarely on the frontlines of this pandemic, the mission of the Best Places to Work program has only become more important. Healthcare leaders have proven that creating nurturing, supportive workplaces for their most valuable asset, their employees, is vital. 

“Employees at healthcare organizations from all sectors of the industry have been the driving force behind the collaboration and effort that led the healthcare industry and the country through the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tireless leaders at the organizations we honor with the 2022 Best Places to Work Awards have stood by their employees throughout an extremely challenging time and remained committed to humanizing the patient experience. They have built and nurtured supportive, engaging, flexible and fun workplaces that meet and exceed the needs of today’s workers. Their success is an inspiration and model for building a more productive, creative healthcare workforce and a better healthcare system in which patients are the ultimate beneficiaries,” said Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern Healthcare. “We congratulate all of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for their commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of their employees and the communities they serve.”

KDMC was honored at the 2022 Best Places to Work Gala on Thursday, Sept. 29. The complete list of this year’s winner rankings is available at ModernHealthcare.com/bestplacestowork.
