BUFFALO, N.Y. — Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has been named to Forbes’ 2017 list of America’s Best Employers. The Buffalo, N.Y., comprehensive cancer center was ranked 169th on the media organization’s list of 300 Best Midsize Employers across 25 industries.

“This recognition is special for us because our employees were among those who participated in the survey, and the feedback they shared reflects the working environment they experience every day,” says Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center President and CEO Candace S. Johnson, PhD.

Companies were selected for this distinction based on an independent and anonymous online survey of nearly 30,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations. The willingness to recommend one’s own employer was considered to be the most important dimension of the assessment.

“Our 3,300-plus employees are important ambassadors for our mission,” adds Errol Douglas, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Vice President of Human Resources Management at Roswell Park. “We take their satisfaction and their input very seriously because their energy and ideas help us to become a better, more effective cancer center.”
