Parkview Health

Parkview Health has been named among the Top. 10 Most Loved Workplaces in America according to Newsweek. It’s the second consecutive year Parkview has made Newsweek’s Top 200, jumping to No. 7 overall this year from No. 87 in 2023. Parkview was one of only two Indiana companies to make this year’s list. The 2024 Top 200 Most Loved Workplaces® are the result of a collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company. BPI previously recognized Parkview on its own Most Loved Workplaces list in August, as well as identified Parkview as a top workplace for women, diversity, career advancement, parents and caregivers, volunteering, wellness and young professionals. The results for this year’s Newsweek list were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them. “Our commitment to excellence in serving our patients, our co-workers and our communities is reflected in this great honor from Newsweek,” said Rick Henvey, CEO, Parkview Health. “When our co-workers feel valued and loved, that positive attitude, enthusiasm and engagement is projected forward into the care they provide, ensuring excellent care for every person, every day. “Being named within the nation’s Top 10 Most Loved Workplaces is a testament to the strong culture we’ve established at Parkview,” said Dena Jacquay, chief administrative officer, Parkview Health. “When we listen to our co-workers, we build and evolve in response to their needs and address areas of concern that are most important to them. As part of this growing organization, and as a state leader in quality, patient experience and our culture, Parkview takes being a best employer very seriously.” Parkview goes above and beyond to provide for and support its co-workers, with a wide suite of benefits and perks. Parkview offers a quarterly “lifestyle benefit” stipend co-workers can use to make personal purchases of their choosing; provides additional time off for volunteering or mental health days; operates a nationally recognized wellbeing department with a variety of services and events to support physical and mental health. Companies were evaluated and scored based on direct employee responses to BPI's Love of Workplace Index® assessment, from BPI’s direct interviews and written responses with company officials and from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google. Newsweek then conducted editorial research on every company before the final list of 200 companies and their rankings was completed. See more: https://bit.ly/3Y7fwyj

On Saturday, more than 236 walkers and volunteers, including Parkview co-workers, community members and representatives from local organizations, came together at Bellmont High in Decatur for the annual Suicide Awareness Walk sponsored by Parkview Behavioral Health Institute (PBHI) – Park Center. The event included a 1-mile walk around the track and an eco-friendly "balloon launch" in which participants decorated paper cutouts with names of lost loved ones and uplifting messages, serving as an ongoing reminder of the event's message: No one is alone because help is available 24/7. Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis can reach out to the PBHI HelpLine at 260-471-9440 (or 800-284-8439 toll-free) 24/7 for information on behavioral health services, or call or text 988 to reach mental health professionals via the nationwide 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Congratulations, Lorenzo Manquero, for being named one of Becker's Healthcare's “63 Hispanic and Latino leaders to know” in the Emergency Leaders category!    Lorenzo, director of risk management at Parkview Health, leads a team focused on improving patient and co-worker safety across the system’s 14 hospitals and 300 physician offices. Specializing in system-level risk management, Lorenzo analyzes processes contributing to errors, aiming to prevent future harm by addressing systemic issues rather than individual mistakes. He has been instrumental in increasing safety event reporting, doubling reports from 14,000 to 28,000 annually, and developing real-time dashboards to track incidents like falls and pressure injuries. His efforts have led to improved training, education and predictive modeling to identify emerging safety risks. As a member of Parkview’s DEI advisory council, Lorenzo also advocated for enhanced communication tools to better serve non-English-speaking patients, particularly Fort Wayne’s large Burmese community, further advancing safety and inclusivity.
