Two Maryland health care organizations named to Forbes’ top midsize employers list
Kennedy Krieger Institute and Mercy Medical Center, both based in Baltimore, were ranked among the top 400 midsize employers (1,000 to 5,000 employees) in the United States for 2024 by Forbes magazine, a national business publication.
The list is determined based on surveys of more than 170,000 participants across the country. Produced with the market research firm Statista, survey responses were given by current employees, employees who had worked for the company within the past two years, and individuals familiar with the company through friends, family or peers in their industry.
Greater weight was given to evaluations from current employees and former employees. Survey respondents were asked to rate their employer, and if they would recommend their employer to others.
New to the methodology this year was the inclusion of data from the past three years — with more recent data weighted more heavily to better identify companies that have been rated well consistently over time.
Founded in 1874 by The Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Medical Center is a university-affiliated Catholic hospital with a national reputation for women’s health and orthopedics. Mercy is home to the acclaimed Weinberg Center for Women’s Health & Medicine, and the more than $400 million, 20-story Mary Catherine Bunting Center.
