Baptist Health named among ‘Best Places to Work in IT’ for 2025

Baptist Health in Northeast Florida was named a 2025 “Best Place to Work in IT” by Computerworld, ranking No. 21 worldwide among large organizations with 5,000+ employees. This annual report, now in its 31st year, surveys companies to determine the top work environments for technology professionals across all industries.

“This recognition underscores our health system’s commitment to innovation and excellence as well as our incredible culture that emphasizes professional growth and well-being,” said Aaron Miri, MBA, FCHIME, CHCIO, executive vice president and chief digital and information officer at Baptist Health. “Our IT team is inspired by being on the forefront of a digital transformation that is truly revolutionizing the delivery of health care by improving accessibility, efficiency, user experience and data-driven decision making.”

One of the many ways Baptist Health is advancing health care technology is through AI. It is one of the first health care systems in the U.S. to collaborate with Microsoft on a new AI solution to streamline the charting process for nurses. According to Computerworld, the focus on next-generation technologies like AI is creating a demand for new skills in intelligent systems as well as in data analytics and cloud computing.

Where talent thrives

Baptist Health recently received the JAXUSA Partnership Talent Champion Award for its integrated approach to team member career growth and was named one of Florida’s best employers by Forbes magazine in its “America’s Best Employers by State” list for 2024.

Based on its philosophy of addressing health in a holistic way, Baptist Health invests in programs and services designed to help team members increase their resilience, maintain work-life balance and improve their physical and mental well-being. Its comprehensive flexible work program and innovative approaches to upskilling and career development help ensure professional growth and job satisfaction.
