UNC Health Nash Named One of America's Greatest Workplaces in Health Care
UNC Health Nash has been named one of Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces in Health Care for 2026. This is a national recognition that honors organizations that foster exceptional workplace cultures and invest in the well-being and professional growth of their employees. The recognition places UNC Health Nash among leading healthcare employers nationwide and underscores the organization's ongoing commitment to supporting teammates at every stage of their careers.
Unlike awards that require organizations to apply for consideration, Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces in Health Care rankings are based on independent research and analysis using publicly available data, employee surveys and employee reviews. The designation reflects UNC Health Nash's dedication to fostering a workplace where teammates are supported, encouraged to grow professionally and empowered to provide exceptional care.
"This is an incredible honor that reflects the time, effort and investment our board of commissioners has made to establish UNC Health Nash as a great place to work—not just locally, but on a national scale," said Dr. L. Lee Isley, president and CEO of UNC Health Nash. "Thank you to our team for helping make UNC Health Nash such a special place to work while providing exceptional care for our patients and their families."
A total of ten categories were researched during the data collection: Compensation & benefits, training & career progression, working environment, culture & belonging, mental wellbeing, work-life balance, sustainability & awareness, company image, job security & stability, and corporate culture.
“With guidance from our board of commissioners, we have worked diligently to ensure our compensation and benefits remain competitive on a regional and even national scale,” Isley said. “Educational and career support offered at UNC Nash has also been amplified over the years for all employees. We are proud of the investment we have made in our employees that allows us to offer such industry-leading benefits and resources to support their career growth.”
Isley added that while UNC Health Nash continues to recruit and retain top healthcare talent, the organization has been making additional investments in cultivating a workplace where teammates can build meaningful careers while delivering exceptional care to the communities they serve.
