The Best Places to Work in Healthcare awards program was created to recognize companies who continuously strive to improve their work environment and increase employee engagement, satisfaction and retention through innovative changes in the work place.

Ochsner Abrom Kaplan Memorial Hospital was listed as #8, MTS Physical Therapy made in the list at #13, Ochsner St. Martin Hospital sits at #7 and Ochsner University Hospital & Clinics holds the #66 slot.

“At Ochsner Lafayette General, our vision is to be a regional healthcare system that always delivers excellence. An award like this shows that our employees are engaged in our vision system-wide, making our facilities great places to work and seek medical treatment. It sends a strong message about our culture and our employees’ commitment to excellence when four vastly different entities are all named among Modern Healthcare's Best Places to Work,” says Patrick Gandy, CEO, Ochsner Lafayette General.
