MARYLAND, USA – Adventist HealthCare has once again been recognized as an outstanding workplace, securing a prestigious position on the Top Workplaces 2024 list in the Washington, DC, region. In addition, the hospital system achieved a national accolade as one of the Top Workplaces for Healthcare 2024.
The selection process involved a survey sent to over 8,800 employers in the Washington, DC, area. Out of these, only 250 organizations earned a spot in the rankings, showcasing excellence across various sectors, including nonprofits and government agencies. Adventist HealthCare uniquely stood out as the sole hospital system featured on the list, and one of just 23 entities with a workforce exceeding 1,000 employees.
Nationally, Adventist HealthCare received recognition among the Top Workplaces for Healthcare 2024, based on employee feedback that highlighted the organization’s commitment to an inclusive and supportive culture, strong teamwork, opportunities for development, effective communication, and other positive attributes. Remarkably, fewer than 3 percent of eligible organizations achieved this designation, making Adventist HealthCare the only hospital system from the DC region to do so. The organization was also included in both regional and national listings in 2023.
“Being recognized across the DC region and nationally for our culture of respect and inclusion is a tremendous honor,” said the leadership of Adventist HealthCare. “We pride ourselves on being a workplace where every individual’s skills and perspectives contribute to our mission. Adventist HealthCare is committed to being a great place for both exceptional patient care and career growth.”
As one of the largest employers in Montgomery County, Maryland, Adventist HealthCare has been dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of the Washington, DC, region since 1907. The system prioritizes holistic health and employee wellbeing, with recognition from the recent award reflecting the mutual respect among leaders and team members. This positive culture is mirrored in the quality of care provided to patients and community partners.
With a workforce of over 6,500 employees and 2,000 physician partners, Adventist HealthCare delivers comprehensive care across the DC region. The system operates three acute-care hospitals, two rehabilitation facilities, and two community cancer centers, specializing in heart and vascular care, orthopedics, maternity services, mental health, imaging, and home care.
Adventist HealthCare, headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, is one of the longest-serving health systems in the Washington, DC, region. It encompasses Shady Grove Medical Center, White Oak Medical Center, Fort Washington Medical Center, Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation, Home Care Services, and Adventist Medical Group Imaging. The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate care through the ministry of physical, mental, and spiritual healing.
