Named as one of the 2011 Gallup Great Workplaces, this health care system is known for the great benefits it offers hourly workers, who dominate its employee rolls. Parents appreciate its three day care facilities, discounted sick-child care, summer camps and subsidized backup care; plus, for teens, the company offers on-site college coaching, college fairs and $1,000 scholarships. Under a new program, employees can scale their hours back in the summer.
