Covenant Health Named to Two National Best Employer Lists

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Covenant Health has been recognized by Newsweek and Forbes as a best employer. Both organizations compile employer rankings based on survey feedback from workers across the country.

Newsweek's 2023 list of "America's Greatest Workplaces" names the top 1,000 employers in over 30 industries. Covenant Health was one of six healthcare organizations in Tennessee to be named to the list, and one of 69 hospitals and health systems in the country.

The Forbes 2023 list of "Best-in-State Employers" for Tennessee recognized 76 employers in the state, with Covenant Health being one of 10 healthcare organizations named. This is the fourth time Forbes has recognized Covenant Health as a "Best-in-State Employer" and eighth Forbes recognition overall. 

"Covenant Health consistently receives awards for being a great place to work thanks to the dedication of our staff who provide extraordinary care every day," said Jim VanderSteeg, president and CEO. "Over 20 percent of our employees have been with Covenant Health for more than 20 years which is a true testament to Covenant Health being a great place to work."
