URBANA, Ill. – Carle Health has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the sixth consecutive year.
Carle earned the designation, even with all the changes in healthcare in the past six years, based on direct feedback from team members sharing their experiences working at Carle Health.
The survey was sent to a random sample of Carle Health team members on March 27 and was conducted independently of Carle by Great Place To Work.
