ShiftMed's Nurse's Choice Awards Celebrate Exceptional Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare Staffing Platform Announces Recipients of New Award Program

MCLEAN, Va., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ShiftMed, LLC, one of the largest workforce management platforms in healthcare with over 100,000 credentialed professionals, proudly announces the winners of its inaugural Nurse's Choice Awards, a program where nurses nominate and recognize valued healthcare facilities across the U.S. Considering everything from coworker support to staff perks, ShiftMed's Nurse's Choice Awards give nurses the opportunity to recognize and celebrate healthcare facilities that provide an unmatched work environment. Voting was open from May 9^th to May 23^rd, with thousands of nurses across the country contributing to the results.

ShiftMed's Nurse's Choice Awards recognize healthcare facilities in three categories:

• Overall Best Facility: The best of the best. From great staff to availability and on-site perks, nurses voted for the facility where they are always excited to claim a shift.
• Best Facility Perks: Nurses voted for their favorite facility based on their accessible location, great parking, public transit proximity, facility snacks and beverages, and other enviable benefits that make their shifts enjoyable.
• Most Welcoming: Facilities in this category welcome nurses with open arms. They appreciate all newcomers and go above and beyond to ensure ShiftMed staff become well-adjusted.

"Healthcare facilities are often ranked based on things like patient safety, clinical excellence, and other measures of output. While these indicators are important, we rarely get to hear about the environment of a healthcare facility from the workers' perspectives," said Todd Walrath, CEO of ShiftMed. "With our Nurse's Choice Awards, we're amplifying the voices of nurses and gathering valuable insights into what matters most to them – insights which can be leveraged by healthcare facilities to bolster retention efforts as we return to a new normal following the COVID-19 pandemic."
