WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT, April 29, 2022  Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, a nonprofit rehabilitation-focused healthcare system headquartered in Wallingford, Conn., is named among the “150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare” by Becker’s Healthcare, the go-to media source for healthcare decision-makers in the U.S.

“Gaylord values integrity, compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence,” states Becker’s. “Its employees are mission-driven and have a passion for caring for those recovering from major illnesses and injuries.”

The recognition also notes Gaylord’s recent awards, including its 2022 Top Workplaces USA ranking and 2021 Top Workplace Award from Hearst Connecticut Media.
 

As one of only two Connecticut healthcare institutions and the only rehabilitation-focused healthcare system in the nation to make the list, Gaylord President and CEO Sonja LaBarbera said that the recognition is a testament to Gaylord’s patient- and employee-centric culture.

“Our employees are at the heart of everything we do at Gaylord,” she said. “They are driven by our “Think Possible’ mission and are deeply invested in fostering our culture of excellence and innovation.”
