Jefferson County Health Center named ‘Top Workplace’

For the seventh time, Jefferson County Health Center (JCHC) has been named a Top Workplace by The Des Moines Register.

By being named a 2021 Top Workplace, JCHC joins an exclusive club of Iowa employers recognized for their focus and dedication to their employees.

“Being named a Top Workplace is humbling, and a true honor,” health center CEO Bryan Hunger said. “It’s a testament to the quality and caring nature of our staff.

“They instill a positive culture of compassion and excellence throughout our entire organization.”

JCHC was previously recognized as a Top Workplace in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

A company receives the honor based on the results of a third-party employee engagement survey conducted in the spring.

Companies and organizations who earn high marks on the surveys are named Top Workplaces.

“2020 and 2021 were difficult years to be in health care,” JCHC Chief Nursing Officer Jacque Bookin-Nosbisch said. “Being named a Top Workplace because of our employees’ feedback is simply wonderful.”

Several JCHC employees attended a Top Workplace awards event in Des Moines earlier this month.
