The Oregon Clinic (TOC) was named Oregon’s 15th Top Workplace among large employers by The Oregonian on September 28, 2025. The Oregonian’s annual survey polls thousands of employees statewide to ask about their satisfaction with their employer. This is the eleventh time The Oregon Clinic has participated in the survey, and each time The Oregon Clinic has ranked among the top places to work.
83.7% of The Oregon Clinic’s employees – 1,202 individuals – responded to the 2025 survey with their opinions. The Oregon Clinic’s meaningful work, values, and commitment to patients again topped the list of things praised by employees. 82% believe the organization operates with strong values and that they are a part of something meaningful. More than 80% of employees said they felt appreciated, included, and supported by their managers. When asked about their motivation for working at The Oregon Clinic, employees cited good benefits; admiration of colleagues; opportunities to learn and grow; and a shared mindset of prioritizing top-quality patient care.
“I get to work with a group of experts who care deeply about the patients we serve and work to improve patient care and team knowledge and skills at the same time,” described one employee.
The strongest response from TOC employees in the survey was focused on patient care: 91% of employees are confident that The Oregon Clinic’s patients receive excellent care.
“Our united focus on top-quality patient care guides everything we do, it’s a part of our culture,” said Tom Sanchez, CEO of The Oregon Clinic. “Having employees who take pride in their work, feel comfortable innovating, and support each other leads to not only a better workplace, but to better patient care.”
“Patient care comes up at every meeting and is centered in decision making. All staff are willing to work hard to get patients the care they need,” cited one employee.
“I’ve never worked somewhere the providers truly care so much about their staff and patients,” described another employee.
The Top Workplaces awards are calculated from employee feedback via anonymous survey. The Oregonian partners with research firm Energage to conduct a scientific employee survey to determine the region’s Top Workplace rankings. Employers can earn Top Workplaces recognition if their aggregated feedback score exceeds Energage’s national benchmarks. Employees at participating workplaces completed surveys about workplace culture, including employee engagement, leadership, alignment with company values, effectiveness, encouraging new ideas, benefits and more, resulting in the ranking of the region’s top workplaces.
As the largest physician-owned multi-specialty medical practice in the region, The Oregon Clinic works to cultivate a culture that focuses on exceptional patient experiences and a supportive workplace for employees. The Oregon Clinic employes more than 300 physicians and practitioners, who provide expert care at more than 500,000 patient visits each year.
