Roswell Park Recognized by Forbes as a Best Employer for Healthcare Professionals

Cancer center makes first-ever list of 250 healthcare organizations in the country

Highlights
  • Roswell Park ranked 19th in U.S. based on survey on wages and opportunities
  • List compiled from surveys from 17,000 employees
  • Cancer center’s 5th Best Employers recognition from Forbes this year

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has made the inaugural Forbes list of America’s Best Employers for Healthcare Professionals. The list recognizes employers that are prioritizing the needs and wellbeing of their staff. Roswell Park ranks 19th in the country on the list, which is compiled from anonymous employee surveys. 

Roswell Park is one of only two New York State employers in the top 20. 

To form the new list, Forbes partnered with Statista to survey more than 17,000 employees working for healthcare and social services providers employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their current employer to others and to rate it based on criteria including wages, working conditions, schedules, career advancement opportunities and safety. They were also asked how likely they were to recommend a previous employer and other healthcare organizations they knew through industry experience or through friends and family who had worked there.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as one of the best employers for healthcare professionals nationally,” says Errol Douglas, PhD, Chief Human Resources Officer at Roswell Park. “This award reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive, and purpose-driven workplace where our staff can thrive. Our people are at the core of our success, and this recognition underscores the culture of excellence and compassion they bring to our patients every day.”

This is the fifth Best Employers recognition Roswell Park has received from Forbes this year. Forbes also named Roswell Park to its 2025 Best Employers for Women, America’s Best Midsize Employers, Top Employers in New York State and Best Employers for Company Culture lists.
