National Recognitions Honor a Workplace Culture of Whole-Person Care
By Viktor Tuparov, communications specialist AdventHealth earned certification from Great Place To Work and appeared on two national lists in 2026: Fortune’s Best Large Workplaces in Health Care list and People’s Companies That Care list. Team member feedback helped inform all three recognitions. “These recognitions are meaningful because they reflect the experience our team members tell us they are having every day,” says Shelli Johnson, executive vice president and chief people officer for AdventHealth. “Our goal is to create a workplace where people feel seen, heard, valued, and connected to our mission. When team members feel cared for and supported as whole persons, they are empowered to bring their best to each other, our patients, and our communities.” In Texas and eight other states, AdventHealth’s mission, “Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ,” starts with creating an environment where people feel supported, included, and inspired to grow. More than 110,000 team members bring that mission to life in moments that help people feel whole. AdventHealth’s culture, Johnson says, is built with care and intention. The organization’s service standards (Keep Me Safe, Love Me, Make It Easy, and Own It) give team members a shared way to put the mission into practice. AdventHealth engages its team members across the country through a meaningful and inclusive mission, day-one benefits, competitive pay, growth opportunities, financial and mental well-being resources, and educational assistance offerings. Team members put these standards into practice by helping open two 24/7 food pantries and offering free health seminars. AdventHealth leaders also invest time in local high school students interested in health care. “When team members feel whole, it strengthens their ability to care for others,” Johnson says. “Together, we build a culture where people can grow in their work, support one another, and extend hope in our communities.” Visit AdventHealth.com/Careers to explore career opportunities across its connected network of care.
