“We are proud to be recognized as one of the best places to work in Central Florida,” said Dick Tibbits, chief people officer of Florida Hospital. “But for us, it is not about the recognition; it is about fulfilling our mission. We are proud of each and every one of our employees who demonstrate daily the spirit to care and the skill to heal.” 

The Orlando Sentinel’s annual list recognizes family-friendly companies that are based in Central Florida. A company’s rank is determined by several different categories including core benefits, work environment, family planning, communication, and training and planning.

This year, Florida Hospital was recognized as one of the top 10 companies with 250 employees or more. With nearly 16,000 employees, Florida Hospital was the largest company to be ranked in the top 10. Other divisions of Florida Hospital that received recognition include Florida Hospital Waterman, which received the number three ranking, Florida Hospital Deland and Florida Hospital Fish Memorial.

Opened in 1908, Florida Hospital is one of the largest not-for-profit hospitals in the country, caring for more than a million patients per year – that’s more than any other hospital in the country, according to the American Hospital Association.  The more than 1,900-bed system, comprised of seven hospitals and 16 Centra Care walk-in medical centers, has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best hospitals in the country for the past nine years.
