Press Release

CINCINNATI, OHIO (September 24, 2024) – UC Health has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2024. Forbes and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

The recognition distinguishes UC Health among organizations from across the state and nation as a recommended place to work.

“Being named one of America’s Best-In-State Employers is a testament to the exceptional commitment of our entire UC Health team,” said Cory Shaw, President and CEO of UC Health. “We strive every day to make UC Health a desired place for employees to pursue their professional passions and contribute to the health and well-being of the community we serve.”

As Greater Cincinnati’s only academic health system, UC Health employees over 10,500 and serves patients from across the United States in over two million visits annually. In partnership with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, UC Health combines clinical expertise and compassion with research and teaching to provides patients with treatment options for even the most complex situations.

The health system includes four inpatient campuses and 70+ outpatient offices and nationally recognized specialty care centers, including ​the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center and the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute.

“We are incredibly proud of this recognition and remain committed to fostering an environment where all of our employees feel valued and supported,” affirmed Margie Jones Zyble, Chief Human Resources Officer at UC Health. “We believe UC Health is a destination workplace and are honored to receive this distinction.”

Tuesday’s announcement is not the first time the health system has been publicly recognized as a top employer. In 2023, the health system was named as one of Ohio’s Best Workplaces by Ohio Business Magazine and has consistently been recognized by U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek for specialized care.

America's Best-In-State Employers 2024 have been identified in an independent survey from a vast sample of over 160,000 employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. The ranking is open to companies from all industry sectors. Around 4.4 million employer evaluations were considered. The consideration of data from 3 years allowed a robust differentiation between organizations that consistently perform well from those that may only have had a single good year. An employer's final score is determined on a state-by-state basis and is built upon two types of employee evaluations:

1. Personal Evaluations: Employees’ willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family.
2. Public Evaluations: Recommendations from friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry- also known as indirect evaluations.
