Black River Memorial Hospital Named One of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare

August 25, 2011 – Black River Memorial Hospital (BRMH) announced today that it is one of Modern Healthcare’s “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” for 2011. Modern Healthcare is a national healthcare trade journal. The full non-rank, alphabetical list of recipients was published August 22nd on http://www.modernhealthcare.com/bestplaces. Specific rankings will be announced at an awards gala on October 18th in Chicago.

“This achievement is a direct reflection of BRMH’s culture, which would not be possible without our staff,” said Stan Gaynor, CEO of BRMH.

This annual recognition of outstanding employers in the healthcare industry is based on employee responses to a 72-question employee engagement and satisfaction survey. The questions analyze eight areas: leadership and planning, culture and communications, role satisfaction, working environment, relationship with supervisor, training and development, pay and benefits, and overall satisfaction.

Holly Winn, VP of Human Resources and Ancillary Services, said, “Excellent patient care is a result of the work by our excellent staff. One of our goals is to be the employer of choice in the area. We do this by building relationships among managers and staff, providing competitive pay and benefits, as well as providing the tools the staff needs to succeed.”
