HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Meritus Health has been named to the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025.

This award is the third time in four years Meritus has made the Best-In-State Employers list.

"We are honored to receive this recognition and are deeply proud of the incredible team we have at Meritus," said Maulik Joshi, Dr.P.H., president and CEO of Meritus. "This award reflects our ongoing dedication to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported and empowered. We believe that when our employees thrive, our patients and our community thrive."

The independent survey used a sample of more than 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. More than 2 million employer evaluations were considered.

The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).

Based on the results of the study, Meritus is one of just 70 employers to be recognized in Maryland, and is the top Healthcare & Social Services industry employer in the state.

The award list was announced on Aug. 19 and can be viewed on Forbes website. Forbes presented the list in collaboration with statistics portal and industry ranking provider Statista Inc. To learn more about working at Meritus, visit www.meritushealth.com/careers.
