ONLY HOSPITAL IN KENTUCKY TO EARN THIS DISTINCTION
In a recent nationwide announcement, Forbes recognized Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) as one of America’s Dream Employers 2025. The elite list of 46 hospitals and health systems includes hospitals such as Duke University, Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic. PMC is the only hospital in Kentucky to earn this distinction.
This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list can currently be viewed on Forbes’ website at www.forbes.com/lists/americas-dream-employers/.
Since many of PMC’s 3,400 employees hold positions that do not involve direct patient care, it is also important to note that the full “America’s Dream Employers” list contains 500 businesses across nearly all business sectors. On that list, PMC ranked above corporations such as Walmart, Ford Motor Company, Harvard University and Pepsico.
America’s Dream Employers 2025 were selected based on an independent survey of college students and employees working over the last three years for companies and institutions with at least 1,000 employees. Over 266,000 data points were gathered. The final score is based on how frequently Pikeville Medical Center was named as a “dream employer” and the overall willingness of surveyed employees to recommend their workplace.
“Pikeville Medical Center is extremely honored to be the only hospital in Kentucky to have been named to this prestigious list,” explained PMC Chairman, President and CEO Donovan Blackburn. “This is yet another testament to our commitment to creating and maintaining a workplace that not only supports our current employees but is attractive to those planning their future in healthcare.” Blackburn added, “The fact that this announcement came just days before our 100th anniversary makes celebrating this milestone even more meaningful.”
Pikeville Medical Center is proud to have implemented numerous initiatives aimed at enhancing employee satisfaction. These efforts have notably contributed to a positive work environment and positioned PMC to receive this distinction as an employer of choice.
In addition to being named as one of America’s Dream Employers 2025, Pikeville Medical Center recently celebrated being named one of Forbes Best In-State Employers for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year.
