For Immediate Release:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Aug. 20, 2026) — Albuquerque ER & Hospital is proud to announce that it has been named one of Albuquerque’s “Best Places to Work” by Albuquerque Business First. The recognition honors organizations that excel in creating positive workplace cultures and fostering high levels of employee engagement, morale, and retention.
Presented annually by Albuquerque Business First, the Best Places to Work Awards recognize organizations throughout the Albuquerque area that demonstrate exceptional workplace satisfaction as deemed by employees. Companies are nominated through public or self-nominations and evaluated through confidential employee surveys that measure key factors including leadership, communication, and workplace culture.
Albuquerque ER & Hospital has been recognized in the Best Places to Work Awards for the past five years, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture and employee experience.
“Being honored in the Best Places to Work Awards for the fifth year is more than an achievement. It is a reflection of the people who make this place extraordinary,” said Kim Valerio, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Nursing Officer at Albuquerque ER & Hospital. “I am incredibly proud of this team, not simply for what they accomplish, but for how they show up for one another, for our patients, and for our community every single day.”
Albuquerque ER & Hospital attributes its continued recognition as a “Best Place to Work” to a culture built on collaboration, compassion, and professional growth. The organization is committed to the ongoing support of its team members through meaningful career opportunities, strong leadership, and a shared dedication to serving patients in the Albuquerque community and beyond.
The 2026 Best Places to Work winners were announced at an awards banquet on Aug. 13.
“Great workplaces aren’t created by titles, buildings, or awards. They are created by people who choose to care, to work hard, to support each other, and to believe in something bigger than themselves. That is who this team is,” said Valerio. “I could not be prouder or more grateful to lead a team that has become so much more than a group of coworkers. We are a family.”
