MemorialCare Health System Named Among Nation’s 150 Top Places to Work

MemorialCare Health System was named to Becker’s Hospital Review “150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare” for the third consecutive year. The list—based on nominations and editorial review--recognizes organizations committed to fulfilling missions, creating outstanding cultures, promoting tomorrow’s leaders, encouraging professional development, offering competitive benefits and going above and beyond to become top places to work.

In Long Beach and Los Angeles counties, MemorialCare includes Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, Community Hospital Long Beach, MemorialCare Medical Group, Seaside Health Plan and several ambulatory surgery, imaging, urgent care and kidney dialysis facilities.

Becker’s Hospital Review noted that “MemorialCare also fosters a supportive work environment, where employees are empowered to eat well, exercise more and quit smoking through a robust wellness program.” Another outstanding program connects employees with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol, with a wellness coach and clinical team to help make long-lasting lifestyle choices that will benefit them for years.

“This is a great honor and testament to our exceptional 15,000 employees, affiliated physicians, volunteers and board members who contributed to this enormous achievement. Their commitment to continuous improvement and creating a great workplace results in the ability to offer our communities compassionate, high quality care,” says Barry Arbuckle, PhD, president & CEO, MemorialCare Health System, an acclaimed innovator in evidence-based, best practice medicine and continually honored as among the nation’s best health systems, hospitals and medical groups.

“Continually being named as a top place to work nationally is due to our outstanding team who work tirelessly to ensure patients receive extraordinary care and superior clinical outcomes,” adds John Bishop, CEO of Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital and Community Hospital Long Beach.
