"Being named to Modern Healthcare's list of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 demonstrates that CompHealth has built a culture where employees are supported and engaged, which benefits not only patients and customers but the employer's financial performance as well, " said Fawn Lopez, vice president and publisher of Modern Healthcare.
