Best Places to Work

The Niagara Lutheran Health System was recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Western New York for 2007 by Buffalo Business First newspaper and Quantum Market Research. Niagara Lutheran was recognized with this honor based on the responses from surveys which were anonymously completed by many Health System employees and mailed to Quantum Market Research for scoring. The survey responses were analyzed by Quantum, and each company's score is an indication of how 'engaged' their employees are with their company. We are extremely pleased and humbled that so many of our employees took the time to tell Quantum Research how they feel about Niagara Lutheran. We offer opportunities for personal and professional advancement, such as CNA Training at The GreenFields Training Center in Lancaster. Niagara Lutheran Home & Rehabilitation Center hosts Erie 1 BOCES classes for LPN Training.
