Parkview Health

Parkview Health has been named to the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2024, ranking No. 25 out of 75 companies included on Indiana’s list. It’s the third consecutive year Parkview has made the Forbes list, previously ranking No. 10 in 2023 and No. 26 in 2022. “Parkview is committed to continuing to build and grow a culture of excellence, providing excellent care to every person, every day,” said Rick Henvey, CEO, Parkview Health. “Fulfilling that commitment means both providing the highest-quality care to our patients at the best value and creating the best environment for our more than 16,000 co-workers who provide that care. We’re proud to be recognized among Indiana’s best employers.” This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. 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 ranking looks at three years of data, allowing for a robust differentiation between organizations that consistently perform well and 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 sources including personal evaluations, employees’ willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family, and public evaluations, recommendations from friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry. Parkview was the top-ranked employer headquartered in northeast Indiana on this year’s list, joined by fellow Fort Wayne-based Steel Dynamics Inc. at No. 50. “We believe that by taking excellent care of our co-workers, we ensure that they’re equipped and engaged to fully focus on taking excellent care of those they serve,” said Dena Jacquay, chief administrative officer, Parkview Health. “Our leaders go directly to the source, listening to feedback directly from our co-workers to help us stay in tune with their needs and ideas for improvement. Those efforts have helped us become a national leader in not only culture, but also quality and patient experience as we hear feedback straight from the frontlines.” On top of competitive pay and strong benefits, Parkview offers numerous additional perks to co-workers, including programs like the quarterly “lifestyle benefit” stipend; co-worker contests and giveaways; an employee well-being department (named a Best and Brightest in Wellness for six consecutive years) that offers numerous physical and mental health programs for co-workers; flexible work arrangements for eligible departments; and innovative support like the Parkview Pups therapy dog program.

Parkview Health and Orthopaedics NorthEast (ONE) broke ground on a new orthopedic ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and medical office building in Warsaw on Tuesday, Aug. 20. The new facilities will be located on C.R. 200 N, just north of Parkview Kosciusko Hospital (PKH). Construction on the 14,750-square-foot ASC, Parkview Kosciusko SurgeryONE, is tentatively scheduled to be completed by October 2025, along with a Parkview Physicians Group clinic and ONE clinic next door. “ONE and Parkview share a lasting commitment to delivering exceptional orthopedic care,” said ONE President Dr. Chris Johnson. “We look forward to bringing that level of care to the Warsaw community, with fellowship-trained, subspecialized surgeons.” Parkview Kosciusko SurgeryONE will offer a broad range of outpatient orthopedic surgeries, including total joint replacements, sports medicine procedures like ACL reconstruction, and surgeries for the spine, hand, and upper extremities. “With state-of-the-art equipment, patients can now benefit from less invasive surgery and quicker recovery times,” said Dr. Alan McGee, president, Parkview Health Orthopedics. “We’re excited to continue expanding the range of care options offered to residents in Kosciusko County.” The new facilities are Parkview’s latest investment in Kosciusko County. After recently completing an expansion that doubled the size of the former Parkview Warsaw, the new Parkview Kosciusko Hospital opened to the public in January 2024. Parkview opened a new occupational health and shared employer clinic on Mariners Drive in November 2023. "More and more residents in Kosciusko County are selecting Parkview as their preferred healthcare provider, and we're committed to meeting that growing demand," said Scott Gabriel, market president, Parkview Health Northwest. "The opening of our new surgery center, along with new physician and orthopedic offices, will enhance our ability to serve the community and provide high-quality care close to home."   The ceremony included a welcome address, comments from physician leaders, and a blessing before the board of trustee members, staff and special guests broke ground at the site.

This week, Becker's Hospital Review published a list of the top recommended hospitals in every state. They compiled the list using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data from CMS.   CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported measures. The “recommended hospital” star rating is based on patients' responses to the question, "Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?" We are excited to share that five Parkview hospitals made Indiana’s list!   The following hospitals were recognized among 12 total in the state: Parkview LaGrange Hospital Parkview Ortho Hospital Parkview Regional Medical Center Parkview Wabash Hospital Parkview Whitley Hospital   We’re proud that our HCAHPS data reflects our commitment to excellence and to be nationally recognized for the teams’ efforts.
