Valley Medical Center is once again a “Best Place to Work in Healthcare” and the only medical center selected from Washington by Modern Healthcare magazine.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Valley Medical has been named to the publication’s list of best places to work in the nation.

The “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” program collects information from both the employer and employees and is open to all companies  with at least 25 employees. Four hundred randomly selected Valley Medical employees answered a confidential 72-question email survey.

Specific rankings of the “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” will be announced at an awards ceremony on Oct. 18 in Chicago.

“The Modern Healthcare honor is particularly gratifying to us, as it ranks healthcare companies across the U.S. We work very hard to be a Best Place to Work, and to receive national recognition is truly remarkable,” said Rich Roodman, Valley Medical Center’s CEO.
