For the seventh consecutive year, OSF HealthCare has made Forbes’ list of Best Employers by State for 2025. Ranking 67th out of 100 top companies in Illinois, OSF holds the highest spot among health systems outside the Chicago area. With nearly 26,000 Mission Partners across 150-plus locations, including 17 hospitals in Illinois and Michigan, OSF is praised for its exceptional workplace environment. President Michelle Conger states this honor boosts both trust from patients and the system’s ability to attract top talent. Selection was based on employee surveys and public evaluations, reflecting a strong commitment to staff and community care.
“This recognition affirms the dedication of our Mission Partners, who live out our Mission every day across the Ministry,” said Michelle Conger, President of OSF HealthCare. “Being named by Forbes as a top employer matters because when patients see OSF is a great place to work, they also trust it as a great place to receive care. At the same time, this recognition reinforces our commitment to being an employer of choice, attracting and retaining the best talent so we can continue meeting the needs of the communities we are called to serve.”
