Brighton Hospice Ranks #18 Among Utah’s Best Large Employers

Brighton Hospice, a leading provider of end-of-life care across 11 locations, has been recognized as a 2025 Utah Top Workplaces winner by The Salt Lake Tribune and Energage. The hospice organization ranked #18 out of 61 large companies with more than 400 employees to receive recognition in this year’s highly competitive awards program.

“This recognition validates what we’ve always believed – that exceptional patient care begins with exceptional employee care,” said Shawn Perucca, Corporate Projects Director at Brighton Hospice. “Our mission to provide the best physical, emotional, and spiritual care for patients and their families is only possible when our team members feel valued, respected, and supported in their own professional journey.”

The award’s impact is reflected in anonymous feedback from Brighton Hospice’s Utah team members. “I like the team(s) I work with. People are cooperative and willing to help others. There is a happy/positive attitude at the office even in stressful times. I am very impressed with how dedicated all employees are to our mission statement,” shared one anonymous Utah team member.

Another team member highlighted the organization’s commitment to work-life balance: “It gives me the work life balance I need while still feeling that I am part of something bigger for our patients and the hospice industry.”

Brighton Hospice’s recognition comes at a time when healthcare organizations nationwide face unprecedented workforce challenges. The company’s success stems from its unwavering commitment to its five core values: Excellence, Compassion, Collaboration, Integrity, and Loyalty – principles that guide every aspect of employee experience and patient care.

Energage’s 25-question survey evaluated employee feedback across multiple factors including pay and benefits, leadership direction, workplace meaningfulness, and appreciation. Brighton Hospice’s scores exceeded national benchmarks, placing it among Utah’s most employee-centric organizations.

Brighton Hospice provides comprehensive end-of-life care services, including routine home care, continuous care, inpatient care, and respite care for patients with a prognosis of six months or less to live. The organization also offers Medicare-certified home health services, providing skilled nursing and therapy in patients’ home settings.

The company’s people-first approach includes cultivating an environment where team members receive personal and professional growth opportunities while leaders focus on supporting clinical teams to concentrate on what matters most – patient care.
