Prime Healthcare recognizes the importance of diversity in its workforce and is committed to equal opportunity for all applicants and employees by creating an environment where everyone, with their diverse backgrounds and identities, can feel valued, included, and inspired.
“At Prime, it is our philosophy that all great health care starts with a local approach, and that quality of care is reflective of having a diverse workforce that is supported and engaged in our mission of saving and improving hospitals to deliver compassionate, quality care,” said Sunny Bhatia, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer of Prime Healthcare. “This honor by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights reassures us in our commitment to employee satisfaction and engagement, with nurses, physicians and all staff committed to high quality, compassionate healthcare.”
Prime Healthcare’s consistent DEI initiatives for employees, combined with its commitment to understanding a patient’s social determinants of health, are important for employee and patient experience and better health outcomes, and key to retaining qualified, engaged employees. Prime Healthcare has been honored in the past by The Joint Commission and National Quality Forum at the National Level for developing and implementing a cohesive and system-wide approach to addressing social determinants of health.

In addition to its own proprietary health and wellness app that was designed for staff and physicians, Prime Healthcare offers employees a best-in-class Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

The EAP also connects employees to resources beyond just confidential emotional support, including legal guidance and personal finance management resources.
Prime’s mental health and wellness app, called “In Prime Health,” was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to support users. The app features virtual meditation and yoga, relaxing symphony music and podcasts on issues staff may be dealing with, as well as a crisis hotline employees can use to get help for substance abuse and a scannable QR code that allows them to directly access counseling.
