JPS Health Network has been recognized as a Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award winner for the second consecutive year, placing the health system among the most engaged and high-performing organizations worldwide. This year, JPS is one of only 70 organizations globally to receive the honor and one of just seven health systems in the United States to earn this distinction. The award underscores JPS’s continued commitment to fostering a workplace culture that empowers employees and enhances patient care.
The Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award honors organizations that excel in employee engagement, well-being, and communication—key factors that drive performance and, at JPS, translate into exceptional patient care. By fostering a culture where team members feel valued and inspired, JPS ensures that patients in Tarrant County receive the highest level of care, compassion, and advocacy.
“Our purpose is clear: to care for those who need us most and to ensure everyone knows they matter,” said Dr. Karen Duncan, President and CEO of JPS Health Network. “Being named a Gallup Exceptional Workplace is an incredible honor, but what makes it truly meaningful is that it reflects the deep connection between our team’s engagement and the outstanding care we provide to our patients.”
JPS believes that investing in its team members leads to better patient experiences and outcomes. When employees feel supported, they deliver care that makes a lasting impact on the lives of those they serve. JPS continues to set the standard for excellence by fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration that directly benefits the community.
