Forbes has named Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) as one of Canada’s best employers in 2025.
The regional hospital has been ranked 19 out of 27 of the best employers in the healthcare and social services category, and 199 out of the best 300 employers across all sectors.
“Every day, I see the work that our healthcare leaders, staff, physicians and volunteers put in to make our regional hospital such a special place,” says PRHC President and CEO Dr. Lynn Mikula in a media release.
“It’s wonderful to see a prestigious organization like Forbes recognizing that too. At PRHC, our greatest strength is our people. One team, here for our community when you need us most,” Dr. Mikula added.
PRHC is the Kawartha region’s largest employer, with more than 3,100 staff and 450 physicians with hospital privileges along with a core group of 250 volunteers delivering acute healthcare to more than 300,000 in Peterborough and the surrounding communities.
Forbes released its Canada’s Best Employers list on Tuesday (January 21). According to Forbes, it created the list by partnering with market research firm Statista to survey more than 40,000 Canada-based employees working for companies and institutions that employ at least 500 individuals within Canada.
Anonymous survey respondents were asked if they would recommend their employer to others and to rate it based on a range of criteria, including salary, work flexibility, training programs, and opportunities to advance. Participants were also asked if they would recommend their previous employers within the last two years.
Along with the survey responses, Forbes also included survey data from the previous three years in case an organization just had one good year, although more recent data and evaluations from current employees were weighted more heavily.
Each employer was given a score to result in the top 300 organizations on the list, which can be viewed at www.forbes.com/lists/canada-best-employers/.
