Top health system employers by state: Forbes

Mayo Clinic and the University of Kansas Health System were both chosen as the No. 1 health system in more than one state according to Forbes' 2024 ranking of America's best employers by state.

Forbes partnered with Statista, a market research firm, to survey more than 160,000 employees working at companies that employ 500 people or more in the U.S.

The participants in the survey were asked to share on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely they were to recommend their employer. They were also asked to evaluate the employers they had worked for over the last two years and organizations they knew in their industry or through family or friends who worked there. 

More recent data and responses from existing employees in the states were given greater weight. Overall, 1,294 organizations made the list.
