National recognition highlights hospital’s continued commitment to colleague engagement, culture and patient care

HOUSTON, Texas (July 6, 2026) — HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball has been named to Modern Healthcare’s 2026 list of Best Places to Work in Healthcare, marking the third consecutive year the hospital has earned national recognition.

“Being named one of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work for the third year in a row reflects the commitment of our colleagues and the culture they create every day,” said Robert Marmerstein, CEO of HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball. “We are proud of this recognition, and our colleagues who show up for each other and our patients with compassion, skill and a shared dedication to improvement.”

This award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.

Creating the right culture, with the appropriate mix of financial rewards, training and career advancement opportunities — as embodied by our honorees of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare — will be imperative for long-term employee and employer success.”
