PeaceHealth named healthiest workplace in Washington

VANCOUVER — Vancouver-based PeaceHealth was recently named one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America and the healthiest employer in Washington for organizations with 5,000 or more employees.

More than 10,000 employers from across the country participate in the annual awards program by Healthiest Employers and Springbuk. Employers of similar sizes were compared and measured for employee participation, health outcomes, leadership commitment and more.

PeaceHealth provides caregivers support and resources through a holistic benefits package, which offers a unique in-house mental health support program alongside an integrated Employee Assistance Program. These benefits are designed to support mental, spiritual, physical, legal and financial well-being.

PeaceHealth also offers caregivers child care access assistance as well as emergency funds when experiencing times of crisis or emergency.

Overall, PeaceHealth ranked No. 34 in the nation and was one of just 10 health systems in the region to receive the national designation. It’s the sixth year in a row PeaceHealth has made the national list and the fifth year in a row receiving top ranking in Washington. The recognition follows PeaceHealth’s No. 1 ranking in the Portland Business Journal’s list of Healthiest Employers of Oregon in June.
