Orchid Health Named a Top Workplace
We are honored to be named one of Oregon’s Top Workplaces for 2025, with a special award recognizing Employee Well-Being in The Oregonian’s Top Workplaces list. This designation speaks to Orchid’s commitment to a culture that values staff support, trust, and healthy work-life balance.
As part of our broader rural impact, we now serves more than 5,000 patients across Oregon’s communities, and awards like this reinforce our mission to care for both staff and community.
We’re grateful to our staff, patients, and community partners for helping make Orchid Health a leader in rural health care and a workplace invested in the well-being of everyone it serves.
