NEW HAVEN — Yale-New Haven Hospital has been named among the 100 best places to work in healthcare, by Modern Healthcare magazine. YNHH is the only Connecticut hospital recognized by the magazine in its second annual survey of 317 U.S. healthcare companies.
"To be ranked among the best leading healthcare organizations is an honor for Yale-New Haven Hospital," said Paul Patton, vice president of human resources at YNHH. "At Yale-New Haven, our goal remains to set the standard for offering competitive employee benefits, instituting family-friendly policies and ensuring a healthy and satisfied workforce."
Modern Healthcare determined its Best Places to Work in Healthcare through a survey of employers detailing company policies, practices, benefits and demographics. Employees were asked in-depth questions in eight core areas: leadership and planning, culture and communications, role satisfaction, working environment, relationship with supervisor, training and development, pay and benefits and overall satisfaction.
Yale-New Haven was recently selected by Working Mother magazine as one of the nation's "Best 100 Companies" for working mothers, having previously honored YNHH in 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Yale-New Haven Hospital is a 944-bed, not-for-profit hospital serving as the primary teaching hospital for the Yale School of Medicine. Yale-New Haven was founded as the fourth voluntary hospital in the U.S. in 1826 and today, the hospital complex includes Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital and Yale-New Haven Psychiatric Hospital, with a combined medical staff of about 3,400 university and community physicians practicing in more than 100 specialties.
