Texas Health Resources has once again earned a place on People magazine’s prestigious “100 Companies That Care” list, securing the number 50 spot for 2025. This recognition marks the fifth time the health system has been honored and makes it the only healthcare provider from Texas to appear on this year’s ranking. For Texas Health, which serves as the largest nonprofit health system in North Texas, the accolade reinforces its long-standing commitment to creating a workplace culture grounded in compassion and holistic well-being.
The annual list, developed in partnership with the workplace research firm Great Place to Work, shines a light on companies across the country that consistently prioritize the needs of employees, their families, and the communities they serve. To be included, organizations are evaluated not only on the strength of their employee benefits and support programs but also on the way they foster culture, contribute to community impact, and go beyond expectations in demonstrating care. For Texas Health, the recognition is the product of years of sustained effort to put people at the center of its mission, whether they are patients, staff, or community members.
Barclay Berdan, the Chief Executive Officer of Texas Health Resources, responded to the announcement by highlighting the connection between a supportive workplace and patient outcomes. He explained that a culture of care for employees allows them to bring their best selves to work, ensuring that patients receive exceptional attention and service. This philosophy has become deeply ingrained in Texas Health’s organizational identity, shaping policies that extend well beyond traditional employee benefits to include comprehensive health initiatives, family support programs, and investments in community wellness.
The recognition from People magazine is not an isolated accolade but part of a broader pattern of national recognition Texas Health has earned in recent years. Earlier this year, the health system ranked third on Fortune and Great Place to Work’s “Best Workplaces in Texas” list, placing it ahead of all other healthcare organizations in the state. It also earned a spot on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” for the eleventh consecutive year, ranking 33rd overall in 2025 and once again achieving the highest position among healthcare systems nationwide. These honors underscore the consistency of Texas Health’s workplace culture, which remains resilient even amid the shifting challenges of the healthcare industry.
Texas Health Resources, founded in 1997, has grown into a regional leader in healthcare delivery. Serving more than two million patients each year, it operates across 16 counties in North Texas through over 400 access points. With a workforce exceeding 28,000, the system is not only one of the largest employers in the state but also one of the most influential in shaping public health outcomes. This scale brings both opportunity and responsibility, and Texas Health has responded by embedding values of care and compassion into every layer of its operations.
The inclusion on People’s list carries broader significance at a moment when healthcare organizations face intensifying competition for top talent. Across the country, hospitals and health systems are navigating shortages of nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals, while also confronting rising demands for flexibility, inclusivity, and mental health support from staff. Texas Health’s repeated recognition suggests that it has managed to meet these challenges by fostering an environment where employees feel valued and supported. In turn, this helps ensure that patient care remains consistent and of high quality, reinforcing the link between organizational culture and community health outcomes.
In recent years, the idea of corporate responsibility has expanded beyond profit margins to encompass employee well-being, environmental stewardship, and meaningful contributions to local communities. People’s “100 Companies That Care” list is one of the most visible reflections of this shift, and Texas Health’s presence on it for the fifth time signals a sustained commitment rather than a temporary initiative. By continuing to invest in staff support systems and community outreach, Texas Health demonstrates that care begins inside the organization and radiates outward.
For employees, the recognition validates the culture they experience on a daily basis. For patients and families, it provides reassurance that the care they receive is supported by a system that values people as its foundation. And for the broader healthcare industry, Texas Health’s achievement serves as a reminder that organizational excellence is not measured solely by clinical outcomes, but also by how an institution treats the people who make those outcomes possible.
As Texas Health Resources celebrates this year’s honor, the message is clear: compassionate care is not just a guiding principle, but a lived reality. Its place on People’s 2025 “100 Companies That Care” list underscores the fact that in healthcare, success is defined not only by the treatment provided within hospital walls but also by the culture that sustains caregivers and connects communities.
