Texas Health Named No. 2 Best Workplace in Health Care for 2026

ARLINGTON, Texas - Texas Health Resources is ranked No. 2 on the 2026 Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care^™ List - the highest among hospital systems in North Texas. This honor represents the organization's 12th straight year among the nation's top healthcare employers.

"At Texas Health, our people are the foundation of everything we do.
