Indeed, health care organizations occupy nine of the 25 places on the AARP The Magazine list of the Best Employers for Workers Over 50, published in the November/December issue.
Employers were rated based on their recruiting practices, training opportunities, health benefits, pension plans, and alternative work arrangements. The health care organizations on the list are: Baptist Health South Florida, Miami; Children’s Health System, Birmingham, AL; Freeport (IL) Health Network; SSM Health Care, St. Louis; Bon Secours Richmond (VA) Health System; St. Mary’s Medical Center, Huntington, WV; The Ohio State University Medical Center; Augusta (GA) Health Care Inc.; and Scottsdale (AZ) Healthcare.
