MIDLAND — For the fourth year in a row, MyMichigan Health has been named to Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025. The award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. More than 300 hospitals and health systems were among the organizations recognized and, of the 75 Michigan organizations listed, MyMichigan ranked 23 and was third on the list of Michigan health care systems, according to a press release from MyMichigan.
“To be recognized for four consecutive years really speaks volumes,” said Lydia Watson, M.D., president and CEO of MyMichigan Health. “It underscores our dedication to leading the industry regionally and statewide in employee satisfaction, setting a new benchmark for workplace excellence. At MyMichigan Health, we have the privilege of nurturing a workplace where individuals feel valued, engaged, and inspired to serve others. That commitment naturally extends to the excellent care we offer our patients and community.”
Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. More than two million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).
Committed to providing employees with an excellent work environment that allows them to achieve personal and professional goals, MyMichigan offers employees continuing education and professional development activities, as well as tuition assistance and reimbursement, including partnerships with multiple universities for discounted tuition for both in-person and online degree programs at undergrad/graduate level. MyMichigan also offers new and enhanced voluntary benefit options, including identity theft protection, legal services, accident insurance, hospital indemnity, critical illness insurance, home insurance, auto insurance, pet insurance, life with long-term care insurance, and purchasing power. Certain positions within the health system offer flexible scheduling, telehealth or remote (work from home) opportunities.
