"America's Best Employers by State" list was released Aug. 24, and 262 hospitals and health systems made the cut.

70,000 employees working for businesses with more than 500 employees were surveyed. A total of 1,382 employers were ranked from varying industries, up to 101 per state. Employers could be ranked more than once if they operate in more than one state.

Fair pay, safe working conditions, inclusive culture, remote work benefits and diversity initiatives were among the criteria.
