Witham Health Services Named #2 in Indiana and #55 in the country of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America

 

Witham Health Services has been recognized in the 2025 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America, an awards program created to honor people-first organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employee population. Witham Health Services was named #2 in Indiana and #55 out of the top 100 workplaces in America. 

“Since the inception of our Wellness program in 2009, the focus has been on changing the perception of a hospital as only a place you go when you are sick,” said Trina Rose, Witham Wellness Coordinator. “We prioritize physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, social, intellectual, environmental and financial wellness. We offer individualized programs and services to prevent those lifestyles diseases that are within our control. So much of our health is powered by the choices we make each and every day. Every choice moves us closer to health or towards disease. Our intention with the whole person, not just the employee side, really demonstrates our commitment to our staff and our patients.”
 

Witham has been recognized annually in the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America since 2018. In 2022 with the inception of the Healthiest Employers Hall of Fame, Witham has been part of that elite group. Inductees regularly demonstrate an ongoing commitment to their employees by regularly modifying and altering programs to best fit their populations’ needs. Constant education, a consistent message and the fact that small changes really make a big impact contribute to Witham’s success. 

Companies are recognized for the list because of their commitment to workplace wellness and their exceptional health and benefits offerings. Many employers have had to adapt their workforces to reflect the ever-changing views of the modern American office. Increased flexibility, work-life balance, and mental health resources have proven to be common trends among Healthiest Employers honorees.

“Our Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America winners demonstrate an unwavering commitment to supporting the health, happiness, and performance of their employees,” said Haley Potoczek, Program Manager at Springbuk. “This recognition celebrates organizations that go beyond programs and policies; they create cultures where employee well-being thrives.”

Each company included on the list participated in the Healthiest Employers application process. The categories, scoring, and benchmarking were formed with the help of a national, non-biased group of representatives from the academic, medical, wellness, and business communities. The Healthiest Employers assessment is scored ‘Rubric style’ on a 1-100 scale. The assessment comprises six categories of yes/no, multiple choice, and short answer questions, with each question totaling .25-3 points.

The six categories are as follows:
-    Culture and Leadership Commitment
-    Foundational Components
-    Strategic Planning
-    Communications and Marketing
-    Programming and Interventions
-    Reporting and Analytics

To qualify for the national award, applicants are also scored based on an additional section called “the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America,” which scores the applicant essays and asks additional questions related to chronic conditions and workplace health.

“Witham Health Services offers our employees educational programs, exercise and cooking classes, health screenings, and various wellness tips,” said Kelly Braverman, President and CEO. “Many of these same programs are offered to our community members as well. Witham partners to help spread and bolster health initiatives throughout Boone County. Communities that are healthier thrive. We are thrilled that Witham ranks #2 in Indiana and continues to improve and foster health equity year after year.”
