The Best Workplaces in Health Care award is based on analysis of survey responses from more than 222,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the health care industry.

“Our people are at the heart of everything we do at Maxim, and this recognition belongs to them,” said Jarrod DePriest, President and CEO of Maxim Healthcare. “Every day, our caregivers, clinicians, and team members bring tremendous compassion, dedication, and purpose to their work, supporting one another while making a meaningful difference for the patients and families we serve. Being recognized as one of the best healthcare companies to work for nationwide is an incredible honor, and I’m proud of the culture we continue to build together. At Maxim, we believe that patient care starts with supporting the people who provide it. By investing in our workforce, we create an environment where people can thrive professionally while helping patients live with greater independence and dignity.”

The Best Workplaces in Health Care list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 7.3 million employees.

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, work status, or other demographic factor.

“Congratulations to the Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “People are at the heart of work in every industry, and health care is no exception. These companies show how delivering for your people drives financial performance and turns fear of the future into the confidence to win.”

In 2026, Maxim was also Certified™ by Great Place To Work®. This prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Maxim. 86% of employees said it’s a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at an average U.S. company.
