After Nina Pham lawsuit, Texas Health named one of Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For

Nina Pham, one of two nurses who caught Ebola while working at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, said this week in a lawsuit and an interview that her employer, Texas Health Resources, failed to train her properly to handle patients with the deadly disease and let her down after she got sick.

She said her privacy was violated, that she became a symbol of “corporate neglect” and her attorney told The Dallas Morning News that she was used as “a PR pawn” by the Arlington-based company as it did damage control.

Yet, despite the Ebola controversy, Texas Health Resources has been named by Fortune magazine as one of America’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Here is what Fortune’s says on its website about THR, which ranked No. 69 on its list:

“The faith-based health organization promotes an atmosphere of mutual support and optimism, where employees can voice any concerns in town hall meetings and 91% report the company often or almost always provides work that is personally challenging, necessary training, and fair promotions. After two of its nurses contracted Ebola while caring for a patient last fall, the organization saw an initial drop in hospital visits but refused to lay off employees; revenue had recovered fully by year’s end.”
