📣BREAKING📣 Eisenhower Health has been awarded a spot on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on August 21, 2025, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.

Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).

Based on the results of the study, Eisenhower Health is honored to be recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025!

“Being named one of the top 15 employers in California by Forbes is a tremendous honor — and a clear reflection of Eisenhower Health’s commitment to excellence,” says Martin Massiello, President and Chief Executive Officer, Eisenhower Health. “To be recognized alongside leading organizations across all industries underscores the strength of our reputation, our values, and the dedication of our entire team to serving the community with integrity and purpose.”

This acknowledgment highlights Eisenhower Health’s ongoing leadership in employee satisfaction and reinforces its position as a standout employer both regionally and statewide.

“What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it’s based, in part, on feedback from our own employees,” says David Kowalczyk, Vice President, Human Resources, Eisenhower Health. “We’re incredibly proud that so many of our team members feel proud to be part of Eisenhower. It’s a reflection of the inclusive, mission-driven culture we strive to create — one where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work in service to others.”
