Evergreen Healthcare

Evergreen Healthcare

The doctors, nurses and support staff at Evergreen Hospital seem to like their jobs for one main reason: They feel like they're good at them. "Employees actually feel gratitude from their bosses/teams for all the work they do," one staffer says. "People are motivated to provide quality care, and they feel good about doing so."

Obstetrics has been one of the main draws for patients and doctors here since the hospital opened in the early 1970s. Now Kirkland's largest employer with more than 3,000 people, Evergreen has expanded to include other areas of medicine such as orthopedics and cancer care. Employees describe a warm and nurturing environment that starts with a staff that's attracted to high standards and is determined to be the best, where patients are treated with respect and most conversation revolves around what's truly best for them.
