Atlantic Health System earns spot on Modern Healthcare’s best places to work in healthcare list
MORRISTOWN, NJ (Morris County) – It’s the unique benefits, inclusive culture and focus on team member development that has earned Atlantic Health System the 62nd spot on Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare list.
This is the second year in a row that Atlantic Health System, the only healthcare system from New Jersey to make the list, has been selected for inclusion into this elite group.
The award is based, in part, on anonymous survey responses from a sampling of Atlantic Health System’s more than 17,000 team members.
