Stefanie Newman, vice president and chief nursing officer for Bethesda North, is one of TriHealth's many female leaders.

Support for women’s advancement, strong company culture and a focus on programs that provide work/life balance are a few reasons TriHealth was named one of the Top Companies for Executive Women by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE). This is the seventh consecutive year TriHealth has been honored and second year in a row to finish No. 1 among non-profit applicants in the country.

The list recognizes organizations whose policies and practices encourage women’s advancement and whose numbers at the highest levels of leadership demonstrate that commitment.

"Our success in delivering quality health care as a unified, integrated system is due in part to the direction provided by our diverse leadership team," says John Prout, president and chief executive officer of TriHealth. “This honor is further recognition that TriHealth is a great place to work for all our diverse team members.”

Part of the recognition was based on having significant female representation in senior management roles. There are also a number of women holding director, manager and supervisor positions throughout TriHealth. About 85 percent of TriHealth team members are women.

NAFE, founded in 1972, is one of the nation’s largest businesswomen’s associations and is part of Working Mother Media, publisher of Working Mother magazine. The NAFE Top Companies survey evaluates companies on every aspect of women’s advancement, including succession planning, profit and loss, roles, gender pay parity, support programs and work/life balance programs.  

TriHealth will be featured in NAFE magazine’s spring 2015 issue, which is distributed to NAFE members around the country and on NAFE.com.
