Top employers ranked based on range of criteria, including salary, work flexibility, training programs and opportunities to advance

 Peterborough, ON – Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is thrilled to be recognized as one of Canada’s Best Employers in 2025.

This year’s list was released by Forbes on Wednesday, January 21. PRHC is among the top 20 employers nationwide in the healthcare and social services category, and 199 overall among 300 Canadian employers across all sectors.

“Every day, I see the work that our healthcare leaders, staff, physicians and volunteers put in to make our regional hospital such a special place,” says Dr. Lynn Mikula, President and CEO. “It’s wonderful to see a prestigious organization like Forbes recognizing that too. At PRHC, our greatest strength is our people. One team, here for our community when you need us most.”

PRHC is the region’s largest employer, with more than 3,100 staff, 450 physicians with privileges and a core group of 250 volunteers delivering acute healthcare to a rapidly growing population of more than 300,000 in Peterborough and the surrounding communities, including the First Nations of Curve Lake, Alderville and Hiawatha. Last year, PRHC released its 2024-2029 Strategic Plan, which highlights our commitment to being a workplace where people can thrive. Learn more about PRHC’s strategic plan here.

The annual Forbes list of Canada’s Best Employers is developed by asking survey respondents if they would recommend their employer to others based on a range of criteria, including salary, work flexibility, training programs and opportunities to advance. It was produced in partnership with market research firm Statista. Statista surveyed more than 40,000 Canada-based employees working for companies and institutions that employ at least 500 individuals within Canada. Data was analyzed from the last three (3) years, each employer was given a score, and the top 300 organizations made the Forbes list of Canada’s Best Employers in 2025.
