ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Health Resources ranked No. 34 on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® list in 2026 – the highest North Texas organization recognized. The system was the only healthcare organization listed in Texas and ranked second in the industry nationally.
This is the 12th consecutive year the organization has been included in the nationwide ranking.

Great Place To Work® and Fortune compile the annual list, which focuses on how employees feel about their workplace. List rankings are based on employee responses and comments to a series of survey questions.
“Our strong culture is rooted in Our Texas Health Promise: Individuals Caring For Individuals, Together,” said Carla Dawson, chief people officer. “We are deeply committed to the well‑being of our care team members and continuously invest in programs that support them –body, mind and spirit.”
