NGHS again named one of state’s best employers

Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) has again been named one of the state’s best employers according to a recent ranking by Forbes magazine. This is the fifth year in a row NGHS has received this recognition.

“Our mission is to improve the health of the community in all we do,” said Carol Burrell, president and CEO of NGHS. “And we know that starts within our own walls. We strive to hire and retain the best people, who bring their best every day, so people can trust the care they’ll receive when they choose NGHS.”

The Forbes list ranked 1,294 organizations across the nation and put NGHS among the top 5 healthcare organizations in Georgia.

Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people within the United States. Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. You can read more about the methodology here.
