Modern Healthcare recognizes HealthSouth, as well as its Encompass Home Health and Hospice segment, among best places to work, according to a new report.

Birmingham, Alabama-based HealthSouth ranks No 55 among healthcare providers and insurers, and HealthSouth’s Dallas-based home health and hospice segment Encompass Home Health & Hospice, ranks No 19, in the 2017 Best Places to Work in Healthcare report, published by Modern Healthcare.

The Modern Healthcare Best Places to Work in Healthcare report is compiled through an extensive employee survey of companies in the healthcare industry from across the country.

This is the third year that HealthSouth has made the list, and the sixth year that Encompass has done so, according to a media release from HealthSouth Corporation.

“Our employees, who work tirelessly to provide superior patient outcomes, are the foundation of our company’s success,” says Mark Tarr, president and chief officer of HealthSouth Corporation, in the release. “Having a strong workforce is a top priority for HealthSouth and Encompass Home Health & Hospice, and we pride ourselves on hiring the best talent and creating an environment where our employees can thrive.”

“A decade ago, Modern Healthcare set out to recognize outstanding employers across the industry. Now in its 10th year, Modern Healthcare‘s Best Places to Work in Healthcare has become the hallmark for organizations striving to be just that,” states Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern Healthcare.

“Our award winners can be proud of the role they play in elevating the standard for workplace excellence. These five-star organizations not only see higher employee retention, but also increased patient engagement and satisfaction and healthier bottom lines,” she adds.
