Selection of MemorialCare marks the eighth consecutive year the health system earned this honor, the ninth straight year for MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, fourth straight year for MemorialCare Medical Group and another win for MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills. The award is based on feedback from anonymous surveys of tens of thousands of employees in hundreds of businesses throughout Orange County.

"We're thrilled to be recognized for the remarkable workplace created, sustained and enhanced by the outstanding contributions of all our 15,000 MemorialCare employees, physicians and volunteers who ensure local communities receive the highest quality, most compassionate care," Barry Arbuckle, PhD, President & CEO, MemorialCare; Marcia Manker, CEO, Orange Coast and Saddleback Medical Centers; and Mark Schafer, M.D., CEO, MemorialCare Medical Group, said in a shared statement.

"The Top Workplaces award is about much more than recognition and celebration," says Eric Rubino, CEO, Energage, the company administering the survey that measures several aspects of workplace culture. "Our research shows that these organizations achieve higher referral rates, lower employee turnover, and double the employee engagement levels."
