Inland Empire Health Plan listed as a Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ for fourth year

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune magazine and Great Place To Work^® named Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) a Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care™ for the fourth year in a row.

IEHP ranked No. 28 on this year's list, joining health care companies recognized by the publication for fostering a positive, uplifting environment with opportunities for personal and career development.

"It's an incredible honor to once again be recognized for our organization's mission-driven work and highly engaged team culture," said IEHP Chief Executive Officer Jarrod McNaughton. "And after 29 years, our commitment to doing the right thing for our members, providers and community remains as strong as ever."

The highly competitive Fortune's Best Workplaces in Health Care™ list is determined by Great Place To Work^®'s Trust Index™ Survey, which evaluates and certifies thousands of organizations in the country's largest ongoing annual workforce study. In June, IEHP was certified as a Great Place To Work^® for the fifth consecutive year.

"This recognition is truly a reflection of our team members and the heart they bring to IEHP every day," said Chief People Officer Supriya Sood. "A great organization is not built solely on the work, but also on people who care for one another and believe in the difference that we can make together."

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of an organization's workplace experience. Those selected for the list were chosen based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of their job title, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status and other demographic identifier.

More than 3,600 IEHP team members—over 90% of the health plan's workforce—completed the survey, with 88% agreeing it is a great place to work. Results also showed that 95% surveyed believe IEHP is a physically safe place to work; has special unique benefits and treats people fairly, regardless of their sexual orientation; and employees are made to feel welcome from Day One.

"Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Health Care," said Great Place To Work Chief Executive Officer Michael C. Bush. "In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high in an organization, people don't fear AI—they embrace it."
