Mary Washington Healthcare Included in Forbes America’s Best Midsize Employers 2025 List

Fredericksburg, VA (February 14, 2025) — Mary Washington Healthcare (MWHC) has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best Midsize Employers 2025. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. Over 6.5 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.

"We are honored to receive this recognition and are deeply proud of the incredible team we have built," said Mike McDermott, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mary Washington Healthcare. "Our Associates are at the heart of everything we do, and this award reflects our ongoing dedication to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered.
