Bailey Medical Center Among Nation’s
“100 Best Places to Work in HealthCare”

 Owasso, OK – Bailey Medical Center has been named one of the “100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare” by Becker’s Hospital Review/Becker’s ASC Review. Bailey Medical Center is one of only two hospitals in Oklahoma to be selected for this prestigious distinction.
 The list recognizes 100 healthcare organizations in America for their demonstrated excellence in providing a work environment that promotes teamwork, professional development and quality patient care. Hospitals, healthcare systems, large physician clinics and surgery centers from across the country were nominated and Becker’s Hospital Review/Becker’s ASC Review conducted substantial research to select their top 100.
 Bailey Medical Center was selected based on its employee satisfaction scores, competitive benefits package, recognition programs and its employee engagement programs and activities.
  “I drive past four hospitals every day just so I can come here to be around my true passion: bariatric patients. I also love it here because we are a big family. The people I work with are amazing, and I feel a great sense of loyalty to Bailey because of the people I work with,” said Melinda Lasiter,
