St. Mary’s Healthcare Recognized as Top Workplace—Again
AMSTERDAM, N.Y., April 14, 2026—St. Mary’s Healthcare has earned a place among the Capital Region’s “Top Workplaces” for the second year in a row.
The independent community hospital is a Times Union Top Workplace 2026. St. Mary’s is the only acute care hospital in the Capital Region to make the list in the 15 years the Times Union has been recognizing the region’s top employers.
“We’ve made it a priority to build a culture of collaboration, innovation and inclusion—one that’s committed to the growth of all who work here. This award affirms that we’re succeeding,” St. Mary’s Healthcare President and CEO Jeff Methven said.
“Our team is extraordinary in their commitment to our mission, our community and each other,” he added, “and that is instrumental in making St. Mary’s a Top Workplace.”
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.
St. Mary’s is in the midst of a strategic turnaround plan that includes investing in much-needed services, 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.As a result, patient volumes are up, the hospital is adding specialties and providers, and the number of associates has increased by 9% since 2023 to more than 1,600.
“Word is spreading that there’s something really special about St. Mary’s,” said Lisa Mazzoccone, vice president and chief people experience officer. “This is a place where everyone is valued and makes a difference—and it shows in the care we provide and our support for each other.”
