DENVER, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Colorado Access, a nonprofit health plan, was recently named by The Denver Post as a "Top Workplace" for midsized companies in Colorado.

Colorado Access was ranked in the middle of the top 30 midsize employers in Colorado. As a leader in the healthcare sector, Colorado Access is best known for the robust services it provides to Coloradans eligible for Medicare, Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+). Colorado Access promotes a healthier Colorado and access to healthcare for all.

The Denver Post teamed up with Workplace Dynamics to create the Top Workplace report for 2012. The company created and sent surveys to employees from hundreds of participating organizations. They ranked companies based on employee responses. The survey scored employees' responses on measures, like leadership, values, ethics and benefits. The Top Workplace rankings are divided into three categories, large, midsize and small companies.

"Colorado Access employees are passionate and dedicated to bringing excellent service to members and providers," said Marshall Thomas, CEO and President. "Our employees are the core of this company and I feel very fortunate to lead them. I am proud to see that Colorado Access employees know they are making a difference in our members' lives. We strive to create a positive environment where all employees are treated with kindness, respect and integrity. I truly feel fortunate to work with such great individuals."

When asked the question, "What impresses you most about senior management's understanding of what is happening in this organization," one employee said, "They are committed and want to help give back to the community. They care about the individual people behind the numbers and what happens with healthcare and the effects it has on the community."
