UTMB Health named one of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025

UTMB Health has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best-In-State Employers for 2025.  

America's Best-In-State Employers 2025 were identified in an independent survey from a sample of over 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people within the United States. Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered.

Employers’ final scores are determined on a state-by-state basis and built upon two types of employee evaluations: 

  1. Personal evaluations: Employees’ willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family.  
     
  2. Public evaluations: Recommendations from friends and family members of employees or from members of the public who work in the same industry (indirect evaluations).  

Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. Respondents also were asked to evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years, as well as organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who worked there. 

“To be honored by Forbes as one of America’s Best-In-State Employers for a second consecutive year is a true testament to the people of UTMB Health,” said Dr. Jochen Reiser, president of UTMB and CEO of the UTMB Health System. “This recognition affirms what we know to be true—that our culture at UTMB creates an environment that fosters innovation, compassion and the highest quality of care. It is our privilege to serve Texas, and we remain committed to building a workplace where our people can thrive and our patients can experience the very best outcomes.”
