LAS VEGAS – July 13, 2020 – Nathan Adelson Hospice, Southern Nevada’s largest, oldest and only non-profit hospice, has once again been recognized nationally as one of the “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” for 2020. Chosen by Modern Healthcare, a top national healthcare business news publication, Nathan Adelson Hospice will be recognized at a virtual awards gala October 8th. This is the ninth time in the last decade the hospice has received this notable honor.

The award is based upon results from an organization-wide Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey filled out by Nathan Adelson Hospice employees, as well as employee comments from open-ended questions. Results of the survey were compared to national benchmarking data to identify award winners. 

“To be recognized this way for an unprecedented ninth time makes me incredibly proud of our entire organization,” said Nathan Adelson Hospice President and CEO, Karen Rubel. “To know how much our entire staff values excellence in the workplace, even during these uncertain times, is such an honor. It helps renew us each day in our critical work to ensure no one ends the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain."
