Forbes Ranks Silver Cross #8 in Illinois for Best Employers; No. 2 in Healthcare Employers

New Lenox, IL (Aug. 22, 2025) – Silver Cross Hospital has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best-in-State Employers for 2025. Silver Cross ranked 8th overall in the State of Illinois; among healthcare providers in Illinois, Silver Cross earned the No. 2 spot.

America's Best-In-State Employers rankings are based on an independent survey of more than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 employees across all 50 states.

Respondents evaluated companies on career development, compensation, workplace culture and the organization's overall image as an employer within their state. Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. Respondents also were asked to evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years, as well as organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who worked there.

Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered. Ultimately, 1,417 companies made it onto at least one state list, which yielded a combined 2,500 rankings.

“Inspiring people, talent and teams is always front and center at Silver Cross,” explains Michael Mutterer, President and Chief Executive Officer. “That’s why we’re committed to fostering an environment where our employees feel valued, empowered and fulfilled in their work.
