Holy Cross Health Earns Forbes Recognition as a Leading Employer Nationally and in Florida

For the second consecutive year, Holy Cross Health is named among America's Best Employers for Healthcare Professionals and is also recognized as one of Florida's top 100 employers. 

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (October 14, 2026) — Holy Cross Health has been named to the Forbes America's Best Employers for Healthcare Professionals 2026 list for the second consecutive year and recognized on Forbes' America's Best Employers by State list as one of the top 100 employers in Florida. Both recognitions are based on employee feedback regarding workplace conditions, compensation, career advancement opportunities, workplace safety, and their willingness to recommend their employer. 

This achievement reflects the contributions of colleagues across the organization, from physicians and nurses to clinical support teams, patient access, environmental services, food and nutrition, administration and many other teams who help deliver exceptional care to the community. 

These recognitions come as Holy Cross Health continues to invest in its workforce, recruit expert physicians and specialists, expand Holy Cross Medical Group and create opportunities for career growth across the organization. Those investments include the opening of Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care in Deerfield Beach and the planned opening of Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care – Fort Lauderdale in August 2027. The organization's commitment to professional growth is reflected in the many physicians who begin their careers at Holy Cross and choose to build long-term careers within the organization. 

"Being recognized by Forbes at both the national and state levels reflects the dedication of the people who make Holy Cross what it is," said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. "Every colleague plays a role in the experience we provide our patients and community. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to creating opportunities for colleagues to learn, develop, and build meaningful careers here." 

For the 2026 ranking, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 30,000 employees working for healthcare and social services organizations with at least 1,000 employees in the United States. Participants evaluated their employers on factors including compensation, working conditions, career advancement opportunities, and workplace safety. The 250 highest-scoring organizations were included on the list. 

"What makes these recognitions so meaningful is that they are based on feedback from employees and healthcare professionals themselves," said Rachel M. Thompson, Chief Human Resources Officer of Holy Cross Health. "They reflect our ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where colleagues feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow. Our people are our greatest strength, and we remain focused on fostering an environment where they can thrive professionally and personally while delivering exceptional care to our community."
