Lexington Regional Health Center Recognized as One of Modern Healthcare’s 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare
Lexington Regional Health Center (LRHC) has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare, a national recognition honoring organizations that excel in creating outstanding workplace environments and supporting their teams.
The complete alphabetical list of this year’s honorees is available on Modern Healthcare’s website, with final rankings to be announced in a special October issue of Modern Healthcare magazine.
This recognition is especially meaningful because it is based largely on employee feedback, reflecting LRHC’s ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive, engaging, and mission-driven workplace culture.
“At Lexington Regional Health Center, our people are at the heart of everything we do,” said Jason Douglas, CEO. “This recognition belongs to our entire team, whose dedication, compassion, and commitment to one another make LRHC a place where both employees and patients feel supported every day.”
The Best Places to Work in Healthcare award recognizes organizations that empower employees, value engagement, and create environments where individuals can do their best work. LRHC’s culture is grounded in teamwork, professional growth, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional care to the Lexington community.
“We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful for the honest feedback they provide,” said Jill Denker, Chief Human Resources Officer. “This recognition reflects a culture built on respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to supporting one another so we can continue providing high-quality care to our patients and community.”
The award program, conducted in partnership with Workforce Research Group, includes a comprehensive evaluation process featuring an extensive employee survey. Organizations are assessed on culture, engagement, benefits, leadership, and overall workplace experience.
LRHC will learn its official ranking and be recognized at the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala on September 16 in Houston, Texas.
