U.S. News & World Report has released its list of the , including in healthcare.

While the field of healthcare recently has been plagued by worker burnout and poor mental health, 23 healthcare entities made the list, ranging from those providing health insurance, to medical care and devices.

The ratings evaluated the best privately owned companies and nonprofit organizations across 18 industries that had at least 5,000 employees and more than $500 million in annual revenue in an effort to "help employees and job seekers make decisions about workplaces that may be a good fit for them," U.S. News said in a press release.

"The new ratings are part of the ongoing diversification of U.S. News' Best Companies offerings and career advice," the outlet noted.

For the new "Best Companies to Work For: Private Companies" ratings, U.S. News said it weighted the following metrics based on a survey of privately owned companies and nonprofit organizations that yielded more than 11,000 responses:

  • Quality of pay and benefits (22.99%)
  • Work-life balance and flexibility (20.57%)
  • Job and company stability (17.50%)
  • Physical and psychological comfort (16.27%)
  • Belongingness and esteem (11.53%)
  • Career opportunities and professional development (11.14%)

Each metric contained relevant information from Revelio Labs, a workforce data company that standardizes millions of public employment records; Good Jobs First, a nonprofit that provided lawsuit violation data; and publicly available benefits data, U.S. News explained.

The outlet also relied on publicly available information from company websites, court records, and other government filings, and employee disclosures on online platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn. Eligible companies had to have at least 75 Glassdoor reviews written from 2020 through 2023.

U.S. News has been rolling out changes when it comes to some of its existing health-related lists after a number of top medical schools and hospitals withdrew from participation in their respective rankings.
