COLUMBIA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Welldoc®, an AI-powered health technology leader, today announced it has been named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2026. This marks the second consecutive year Welldoc has received this honor, reflecting a sustained corporate culture focused on employee well-being, clinical rigor and scalable health tech innovation.
The annual award program identifies and honors 150 outstanding healthcare workplaces that empower employees to excel and grow while providing industry-leading products and services. Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey. Highlights from the survey reveal the core strengths of Welldoc’s workplace culture, including:
- Shared Mission and Vision: Welldoc team members remain deeply aligned with the company’s objective to improve health outcomes through healthcare-ready AI. The latest survey indicates that 99% of employees derive strong personal satisfaction from their daily work and feel like they are part of a team with a common purpose.
- Exceptional Employee Experience: Team members are equipped to drive meaningful impact daily through individual contributions and team collaboration within a welcoming environment. Specifically, 99% of employees report they genuinely enjoy working with colleagues, and 97% agree that Welldoc purposefully fosters an inclusive workplace.
- Supportive Leadership: Executive leadership actively prepares managers to lead with empathy, offer consistent support, and champion calculated risk-taking in the workplace. This management philosophy is reflected in the data, with 100% of employees reporting highly positive professional relationships with their direct supervisors. Additionally, 96% of team members highlight the organization’s transparent and honest communication channels.
“Building advanced, clinically validated AI solutions requires a workplace that prioritizes collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared mission,” said Kevin McRaith, President and CEO of Welldoc. “Our employees are the engine of our innovation, and this consecutive recognition from Modern Healthcare validates our ongoing commitment to ensuring their professional growth and well-being.”
This workplace distinction follows several recent corporate milestones celebrating Welldoc’s culture, industry, and technology leadership. The company was certified as a Great Place to Work® for the fifth consecutive year, recognized with the “Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award 2026” for the third year, and named “Best Overall Digital Health Company” by MedTech Breakthrough for the fourth year.
Welldoc’s collaborative corporate culture serves as the operational foundation for the company’s ability to build highly validated, healthcare-ready AI. This close intersection of workplace excellence and clinical rigor has yielded 11 FDA clearances and more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, including 43 papers focused specifically on advanced AI models. Over the past year, these high-performing teams launched the Welldoc AI Lab alongside academic partners Johns Hopkins University and the Vellore Institute of Technology, while submitting a generative CGM-GPT glucose-prediction feature to the FDA for review. The company has also been recognized at the highest levels of the federal health system, where Welldoc is an active participant in the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem as an early adopter, was selected for the ACCESS Model, and is among the first platforms listed in the Medicare App Library.
“We believe that a supportive, inclusive workplace is the foundation for genuine collaboration,” said Robin Schwartz, Head of HR at Welldoc. “It is inspiring to see our employees work side-by-side, knowing their voices are valued. Our culture ensures that as our teams design and build next-generation AI health tools, our people always remain at the heart of everything we do.”
Modern Healthcare will announce the ranked list of awardees at the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala in Houston, on September 16, 2026. The full list will also be published in a special supplement with the October 2026 issue of Modern Healthcare magazine.
“Healthcare is changing rapidly as new technologies are adopted on both the clinical and administrative sides,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Still, the most forward-looking companies understand that employees are the heart of their organizations. Creating the right culture, with the appropriate mix of financial rewards, training and career advancement opportunities — as embodied by our honorees of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare — will be imperative for long-term employee and employer success.”
