St. Mary’s Healthcare Named 2025 Top Workplace
AMSTERDAM, N.Y., April 15, 2025—St. Mary’s Healthcare has been named a 2025 Times Union Top Workplace—the first acute care hospital in the Capital Region to earn the distinction since the Times Union launched the recognition program 14 years ago.
The annual Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback, via a confidential survey on work-related measures such as feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute. The survey is conducted by Energage, a workplace culture research firm.
Jeff Methven, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Healthcare, gave credit to his team for the impressive results. “This Top Workplace designation belongs to everyone at St. Mary’s and validates our collective efforts to build a supportive work environment at our independent community hospital,” he said.
“Those who completed the survey affirmed our positive workplace culture and conveyed our continued commitment to the path forward,” Metheven added. “Together, we will make our Top Workplace even better.”
In recent years, despite the challenging healthcare environment, St. Mary’s has made strategic investments in compensation, benefits, recognition programs, and professional and career development. The local community hospital also emphasizes transparency and communication and has increased employee involvement in decision-making.
“Culture is something you nurture and improve on every day,” said Lisa Mazzoccone, executive director of human resources and chief people officer at St. Mary’s. “It’s a challenge, but once you create that culture, everyone comes together, working for a larger cause.”
“That’s what we’re building at St. Mary’s,” Mazzoccone added, “and that’s why so many people want to be part of what’s happening here.”
