Unity Medical Center Earns Best Place to Work Recognition for Fifth Consecutive Year

Unity Medical Center (UMC) has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare for a fifth year in a row. This annual award program identifies and recognizes 150 outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Half of these organizations are a combination of healthcare providers and insurance companies while the other half are vendors. 

Employee feedback played a key role in the selection process and reflects the culture UMC strives to create every day.

“This organization has such a family-based culture. Our employees are cared for and appreciated just as much as our patients are. It’s very apparent that this is an excellent place to work.”

Another employee shared, “Employees are treated as family, everyone goes above and beyond to support and better each and every staff member both professionally and personally. Staff are recognized and appreciated on a daily basis, and the facility is highly involved in and supportive of the community.”

Employees also highlighted strong leadership, opportunities for professional growth, competitive benefits, and the ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and families. 

Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey with questions pertaining to how well employees feel they are treated by the organization, if they feel they are recognized appropriately, and if they are engaged with their work and helping to identify opportunities/strategies to improve the workplace culture and productivity. 

UMC will find out their ranking on the Best Places list and be celebrated at the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala taking place September 16 in Houston, Texas.
