ST. PAUL, MN--(Marketwire - Aug 4, 2011) - HealthEast Care System has been named one of Minnesota's "Best Places to Work" by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal for the sixth time. The Business Journal had nearly 250 Minnesota companies apply for the award this year.
"Receiving the 'Best Places to Work' award is evidence of our success in pursuing the HealthEast employee strategy, which is an important cornerstone to achieving our vision of 'creating the best health care experience through a passion for caring and service,'" said Tim Hanson, HealthEast CEO and President.
