TRI-STATE – Deaconess has been named to the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers By State 2024. 
This award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking 
provider. 

The list includes 1,294 organizations across the nation. Deaconess was among the top in Indiana. 

To create the list, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 
employees working for companies with at least 500 people within the U.S. Survey participants were asked 
how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. Respondents were also asked to 
evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years, and organizations they knew within their 
industry or through friends or family who worked there.

Described by Forbes as their highest recognition, the awards list can currently be viewed on the Forbes 
website at forbes.com/lists/best-employers-by-state.
