UConn Health has been recognized as one of America’s Best Large Employers for 2025 by Forbes in the 10th anniversary edition of its rankings.

Among the 701 best companies in America, UConn Health ranked 150th and placed second among seven Connecticut organizations, outperforming the only other healthcare institution on the list, Yale Health, which ranked 214th.

Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Over 6.5 million employer evaluations were considered.

“At UConn Health, we are committed to supporting our exceptional workforce which is the foundation of our excellence in patient care, education, and research,” says Dr. Andrew Agwunobi, UConn Health CEO and Executive Vice President for Health Affairs. “That’s why it is especially meaningful and rewarding to have an objective external organization recognize UConn Health for its achievements.”

“Our people are the heart of what makes UConn Health a great place to work, and this recognition reflects the dedication and collaboration of our entire team—staff, leadership, and union partners alike,” says Lakeesha Brown, Chief Human Resources Officer for both UConn and UConn Health. “Thank you to everyone for fostering an exceptional workplace. Together, we will keep pushing forward with excellence and innovation.”

In 2024, UConn Health earned a spot on Forbes’ “America’s Best Employers by State” list, highlighting its commitment to providing a top-tier workplace in Connecticut. Now, with its inclusion in Forbes’ prestigious America’s Best Large Employers list for 2025, UConn Health has further solidified its reputation on a national scale.
