St. Luke’s University Health Network has been recognized as the #1 in Pennsylvania by Forbes Magazine. 

This is the third year in a row the health network has received the honor. 

St. Luke’s was also named a Top 10 employer statewide coming in at number four behind Johnson & Johnson, Google and the Milton Hershey school. 

With more than 23,000 team members, St. Luke’s said that it is the largest employer in the Lehigh Valley. 

The rankings were based on a survey of 160,000 employees across the U.S., conducted by Forbes and Statista. Participants rated their employers on everything from satisfaction to reputation – and St. Luke’s shined. 

“Being recognized as the top-ranked health care employer in Pennsylvania is truly an honor,” said Evan Ochs, senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “We put our people first. We listen, we respond, and we celebrate the incredible work they do every day.”
