Nutex Health Named 2026 Houston Top Workplace by Chronicle
The Houston-based hospital operator was among 61 midsized employers recognized on a list determined by employee feedback.
Nutex Health Inc. said Monday that the Houston Chronicle named the Houston-based micro hospital operator a 2026 Houston Top Workplace, an honor determined entirely by employee feedback.
Nutex was one of 61 midsized employers on the Houston Metro Area Top Workplaces 2026 list, which defines that category as organizations employing 150 to 499 people.
Energage, LLC, an employee engagement technology company, selects the honorees using a confidential third-party survey that it administers. The questions cover aspects of employees’ working lives, including whether they feel respected and supported, have room to grow and are empowered to execute.
"We are extremely proud to receive this Top Workplace award, which reflects our core mission of providing accessible, concierge-level patient care," Chairman and CEO Tom Vo said.
"An engaged, aligned, and satisfied team is essential to delivering on that mission," Vo said.
The Houston Chronicle released the complete list Sunday. Its 231 honorees this year represent the highest total since the newspaper started the survey in 2010. The list includes 97 large companies and 61 midsized ones, along with 73 small companies.
The honorees include hotels and energy services firms, as well as logistics companies and local government offices. The Chronicle said 84 workplaces, more than a third of those honored, appear on the list for the first time.
It was not immediately known where Nutex ranked within the midsized category.
Energage CEO Eric Rubino said the award is "a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees."
"In today's market, leaders must ensure they're allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends," Rubino said.
Nutex, founded in 2011, describes itself as an integrated healthcare delivery system led by physicians. Its stock trades under NUTX on NASDAQ and Nasdaq Texas.
The company has three divisions. Its Hospital Division owns and operates 28 sites across 12 states, comprising micro hospitals, specialty hospitals and hospital outpatient departments. The Population Health Management Division operates provider networks such as Independent Physician Associations, while the Real Estate Division leases its land and hospital buildings to Nutex’s hospital entities.
Nutex identified business risks in its release, including regulatory and litigation uncertainty under the No Surprises Act and short seller reports. It also cited securities class actions and lawsuits seeking class-action status related to a recent cybersecurity incident.
