Norm Gruber, Salem Health president and chief executive officer, recently attended an awards banquet sponsored by The Oregonian and accepted the award on behalf of the organization. During the event, employee quotes from the survey were highlighted for three companies, which included Salem Health. The quote said: “I have a chance to make a difference in someone’s life every day. It is a great team to be part of. We all have each other’s backs and work well to accomplish what lies before us.”
“I could not agree more,” said Gruber. “The work we do makes a difference in our community, and I have the organization to thank for it. Salem Health’s most valuable resource is our employees and medical staff.”
The Oregonian published the complete list of Top Workplaces on Sept. 14. For more information about the Top Workplaces lists and WorkplaceDynamics, please visit topworkplaces.com and workplacedynamics.com.
