St. Vincent's HealthCare
Location: Jacksonville, Fla.
Type of company: Hospital/health system
Meet the organization: St. Vincent's is a faith-based nonprofit system with three hospitals, one of which opened in October 2013 and added 375 full-time positions to Clay County. In total, the system has more than 5,000 employees. St. Vincent's received the American Heart Association's Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite award in early 2014 and has also received the First Coast Worksite Wellness-Healthiest Companies Platinum Award.
Added benefits: St. Vincent's offers a Spirituality Health Center, where employees can get personal guidance for their spiritual journey as well as meditation instruction. Employees can also take advantage of offerings like yoga, YMCA partnerships and wellness fairs. Every facility has a Circle of Champions, a group of employees tasked with designing ways to improve the workplace and acting as liaisons between senior leaders and associates. That program has led to numerous initiatives, including the creation of an intranet, where workers can request new equipment and submit suggestions for workplace improvement.
