Health System Best Employer in Kansas and Missouri

Forbes recently recognized The University of Kansas Health System as the No. 1 employer in Kansas and the No. 1 employer in Missouri on its list of America's Best-In-State Employers 2024.

This prestigious ranking highlights the health system’s commitment to providing a supportive work environment for employees. Every day, our skilled teams collaborate to solve medical challenges and provide lifesaving care to patients throughout the region.

Forbes created the list based on a comprehensive study of more than 160,000 employees in the United States. Participants were asked about their job experiences and how likely they were to recommend their workplace to others. Employers do not pay a fee to be named on Forbes’ list.

To qualify for recognition, employers must show profound dedication to employee satisfaction, development, well-being, engagement and career advancement.

Tammy Peterman, president of the Kansas City Division, is proud of the health system’s culture of excellence and collaboration: “We deliver exceptional service and the highest quality outcomes because of our great people. As a team, we are proud to deliver the very best patient care.”

Employees at the health system consistently praise its collaborative atmosphere and team members’ shared passion for improving patients’ lives. One nurse at the health system says, “I enjoy working here because of the staff in our department. Everyone is super fun to work with, cares tremendously and is always willing to help each other out. It’s a night-and-day difference from what I experienced at a different facility. I feel extremely blessed and thankful!”

Bob Page, health system president and CEO, is resolute in his dedication to investing in every employee: “As a health system, we are committed to ensuring every team member feels valued, respected and empowered to put patients first.”
