Aramark Healthcare+ Named #1 Large Supplier on Modern Healthcare’s “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” List for Second Consecutive Year

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aramark Healthcare+, a national leader in healthcare dining, nutrition, and facilities services, has once again secured the top spot in the Large Supplier category on Modern Healthcare’s “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” list.

This marks the second consecutive year Aramark Healthcare+ has earned the #1 ranking in this category, reinforcing its commitment to a people-first culture and operational excellence across the healthcare industry.

“We’ve been named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work two years in a row and that’s not just a headline, it’s a reflection of the culture we’ve built,” said Bart Kaericher, President and CEO of Aramark Healthcare+. “From being ranked #1 in our large supplier group to leading in community impact, health, and family-friendliness, these honors speak to how we care for our people—and how that care ripples outward.”

This recognition is part of a growing list of multi-year honors that underscore the company’s enduring culture of care:

  • #1 Large Supplier (2024 & 2025)
  • #1 Healthiest Workplace (2025)
  • #1 in Community Impact (2024)
  • #3 Family-Friendliest Workplace (2025)

The Culture Behind the Recognition

Aramark Healthcare+’s recognition is rooted in a culture designed to elevate people at every level. With more than 25,000 managed and direct teammates supporting over 600 healthcare facilities across 47 states, the company is reshaping what support services mean in healthcare by focusing on impact, not just operations.

That impact is driven by:

  • Empathetic leadership that listens deeply and leads with purpose.
  • Whole-person wellness programs that nurture physical, emotional, and mental health.
  • Family-first flexibility that empowers teammates to thrive at work and at home.
  • Community connection that transforms service into meaningful relationships.

“When our teammates thrive, they elevate the experience for patients, clinical caregivers, clients, and communities. This culture isn’t just good for business; it’s essential to healing, partnership, and performance. We don’t just work here. We thrive here together,” Kaericher added.

Recent milestones further illustrate this commitment. A new partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Health System will bring Aramark Healthcare+’s elevated approach to patient and retail dining, environmental services, patient transportation, and integrated call center support across a seven-hospital, 4,000-bed system. The company is also leading in the evolving healthcare technology space for support services with its recent investment in RoboEatz, a robotic system designed to deliver customizable, high-quality meals 24/7 for healthcare workers.
