Banner Health has been named one of the 2026 Healthiest Employers of Colorado, an annual recognition program presented by Healthiest Employers® in partnership with Springbuk, a Truven Health analytics solution. Banner Health was honored in the 5,000+ employee category, alongside nine other large organizations recognized statewide for their investment in workplace health and well-being.
The Healthiest Employers of Colorado program evaluates participating organizations on their workplace health initiatives, employee engagement and overall commitment to building healthier workplace cultures. Banner Health, which employs more than 64,000 people across its system, was recognized among the state’s largest employers for its ongoing efforts to support the well-being of its workforce.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of Colorado’s Healthiest Employers,” said Margo Karsten, Senior Vice President of Acute Care Delivery, Western Region. “Our team members are at the heart of everything we do, and this recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting their health and well-being so they can, in turn, provide the very best care to our patients and communities.”
Supporting Employee Health and Well-Being
Banner Health supports its workforce through its award-winning MyWell-Being Program, which team members can customize around their own health and well-being goals across five dimensions: physical, mental, financial, social and life satisfaction.
The program includes a health-tracking app, financial planning and assessment tools, nutrition guides and meal planning, a mindfulness app, and on-demand mental health support, along with incentives such as insurance premium discounts and healthy challenges for team members who take part.
Being recognized as Colorado’s Healthiest Employers builds on Banner Health’s broader employee experience strategy, which has also earned the health system a spot among Becker’s 165 Top Places to Work and Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. As competition for health care talent remains strong across Colorado and the Mountain West, Banner Health continues to invest in the benefits, culture and support systems that help attract and retain team members, recognizing that a healthy, engaged workforce is directly connected to the quality of care patients receive
