CANANDAIGUA – For the third consecutive year, UR Medicine’s Thompson Health is on the “150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare” list published by Becker’s Hospital Review, and is the only health system in western or central New York to be included.
This list includes U.S. hospitals, health systems, ambulatory surgical centers and home health agencies as well as other types of healthcare-specific companies “committed to fulfilling missions, creating outstanding cultures and offering competitive benefits to their employees.” Hospitals of all sizes are included, with the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital among the larger ones.
“Once again, inclusion among the ‘150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare’ highlights our unique corporate culture and our exceptional team of associates,” said Thompson Health President/CEO Michael F. Stapleton Jr., FACHE. “This sets us apart in our recruiting efforts and lets us know we are going above and beyond to maintain a happy and healthy workforce and to encourage work/life balance, which in turn benefits our patients and residents.”
According to Becker’s, its editorial team determined the organizations included on this year's list. At no cost, organizations were able to submit nominations and final decisions were made based on previous recognitions, awards, employee benefits, culture and workplace excellence. The editorial team also considered diversity, employee satisfaction and retention when developing the list.
Thompson was chosen for several reasons, such as being named a "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Becker’s also noted Thompson offers tuition assistance, on-site exercise classes, biometric screenings and opportunities for professional development. Self-care initiatives including stretch breaks and adult “de-stressing” coloring sessions at lunchtime were mentioned, as well.
