(Helena, Mont.) – The Montana Hospital Association is pleased to announce St. Immanuel Lutheran Communities is the winner of the association’s 2022 Best Place to Work Award for non-hospitals in the state.
The Best Place to Work Award is designed to honor both small and large hospitals as well as non-hospital healthcare organizations that go the extra mile in enhancing employee satisfaction through basic or creative retention strategies.

Judging was based on the following criteria:
· Creativity, scope, and implementation of the retention strategy.
· Verifiable outcomes in employee retention.
· Demonstrated effectiveness in raising employee morale through a hospital morale tracking system.
· Potential for applicability in other healthcare organizations.
· Employee references of improved work environment.

We are pleased to honor them with our 2022 Best Place to Work Award,” said Rich Rasmussen, Montana Hospital Association CEO. “The pandemic has demonstrated the importance of supporting our healthcare workforce and Immanuel Lutheran Communities is a leader as a great place to work.”
