“We are honored to be named as one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work and are thrilled to be ranked in the top 30,” said Joel North, chief executive officer at HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest.  “This is the third year the hospital has received this honor, receiving it in 2021, 2023, and 2024.  I am proud of our leaders and colleagues who continue to create a positive workplace for one another.  Our colleagues are dedicated to providing exceptional care every day to our patients and to each other.

"We are privileged to be recognized as one of Modern Healthcare's Best Places to Work and are proud to be ranked in the top 30," said Joel North, Chief Executive Officer of HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest. "This marks the third consecutive year our hospital has earned this distinction, having been recognized in 2021, 2023, and 2024.

Modern Healthcare partnered with the Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey. While this program has evolved over the years, its mission remains the same: recognizing workplaces that empower employees to provide patients and customers the best possible care, products and services.

"The healthcare industry continues to face challenges like economic uncertainty, staffing shortages, and the increasing demand for flexible work options," said Dan Peres, president of Modern Healthcare. "The 2024 Best Places to Work winners have risen to these challenges by prioritizing their employees' needs. Their ability to adapt and invest in their workforce has been crucial to their success in this time of change. This year's winners set a high standard for building a thriving and resilient workplace."

HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest was honored at the 2024 Best Places to Work Gala on Thursday, October 10. This is the third year the hospital has made the list. It was recognized in 2021 and again in 2023 and 2024.
