Winchester Hospital Makes BBJ's Best Places to Work List

For an 11th consecutive year, Winchester Hospital has been named to the Boston Business Journal's 2013 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts list, according to the hospital's website.

Winchester Hospital finished as the highest-ranking hospital and No. 8 overall in the Large Company category, according to the site. Other hospitals in the category include Lowell General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Hallmark Health.

Winchester Hospital, which has topped the Large Company category twice, made the list for having high marks in "excellence in employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture," reads the site. More than 400 companies were given consideration by the Boston Business Journal, according to the site.

“We have made this list for 11 straight years now, and it is such an honor to be recognized as one of the best places to work,” said Kevin Smith, president and chief executive officer of Winchester Hospital, in a press statement. “Our incredibly hardworking and dedicated staff is the reason why Winchester Hospital is such a great place to work.”

“Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give,” said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal, in the statement. “In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”

Winchester Hospital, along with 79 other winners in four categories – small (20-100 employees), midsize (101-500 employees), large (more than 500 employees) and PR/Communications – were featured in Boston Business Journal’s special June 14 supplement, reads the site.

As of May 31, Winchester Hospital had about 1,400 full-time workers in support of 229 beds, according to a Boston Business Journal report. During the six months that ended March 31, the hospital reported $131.8 million in net patient-service revenue, which was flat year-over-year despite a 10 percent jump in admissions, reads the report.
