Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Pulaski (STRHS Pulaski) has placed third in the nation by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2020 Best Places to Work in Healthcare. The announcement was made last week during the virtual Modern Healthcare Best Places to Work awards gala.

“When we were notified earlier this year that for the 4^th year in a row, we had made the 100 Best Places to Work, I of course was elated,” said hospital CEO Jim Edmondson.  “Little did I know that our ranking was third behind Blue Cross of Tennessee and HCA’s Gulf Coast Division office.  The Best Places to Work includes organizations besides hospitals but clearly, in this pandemic, hospitals have been the most challenging areas to work in healthcare.  This makes this distinction that more intriguing.  Our ranking means we placed first ahead of the forty five hospitals that were recognized as the 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare.  I am really blessed to work with such great caregivers…awesome heroes. “

The award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with the Best Companies Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.

Modern Healthcare has published a special supplement featuring a ranked list of all the winners in this week’s issue.
