These included the extent to which employees trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions, and the level of team camaraderie. Rankings are based on employees’ feedback and reward companies who best ensure that all employees are represented, no matter who they are or what they do for the organization.

The Fierce 15 list celebrates the spirit of being “fierce” – championing innovation and creativity even in the face of intense competition. Fierce Healthcare evaluated hundreds of companies from around the world for the list, which is based on a variety of factors, such as strength of technology, partnerships, venture backers and their innovative approaches to solving some of the most complex and longstanding problems in the health industry.
“The past year has been a particularly challenging time as the entire global population faces an extended period of chronic stress triggered by everything from a global pandemic to systemic racism to ongoing political unrest,” adds VP of Clinical Care at Modern Health, Myra Altman, PhD. “With the level of mental health need that exists, we have to find ways to make high quality care more accessible and we’re honored to be included in this group of Fierce 15 winners that are tackling these important challenges.”
This week Modern Health was also honored alongside some of the most innovative companies in the healthcare industry by Nasdaq in its virtual Opening Bell Ceremony timed to celebrate the beginning of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.
