Hospital Sisters Health System is being recognized as one of the nation’s top places to work in healthcare.
Becker's Healthcare has released its 2026 list of the 165 Best Places to Work in Healthcare, and Hospital Sisters Health System, headquartered in Springfield, made the cut.
The honor highlights organizations that prioritize employee wellbeing, professional development, and work-life balance. HSHS was recognized for offering strong benefits, inclusive work environments, and opportunities for career growth, while also maintaining a strong commitment to community service.
This marks the third consecutive year HSHS has been named to the list, earning recognition every year from 2024 through 2026.
HSHS President and CEO Damond Boatwright says the recognition reflects the people behind the mission. He says the organization works hard to ensure colleagues and physicians have opportunities to grow professionally while also supporting their health and wellbeing.
HSHS employs more than 10,000 colleagues, providing care across 14 hospitals, as well as home health and hospice programs in Central and Southern Illinois and Eastern Wisconsin.
Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Thomas Ahr says Becker’s recognition highlights the system’s focus on safe, supportive work environments — including leadership programs, tuition assistance, and clinical career advancement opportunities.
