Items highlighted by Becker's include the biennial employee engagement survey, the support of employees with children and on-site training and professional development courses to help advance careers.

At Vidant Medical Center we are blessed to have an incredible group of people (physicians, nurses, other professionals) working together and sharing the best we have to offer with others," said Steve Lawler, president, Vidant Medical Center. "That's what makes a great team, and that's what makes us a 'Great Place to Work.'"

"Working well together for a common cause makes Vidant Medical Center a great place to work."

    To develop the list, the Becker's Healthcare editorial team conducted research, considered nominations and evaluated organizations based on their benefits, workplace culture, professional development opportunities and previous recognition for workplace excellence.
