Cardamom, a minority-owned, technology-forward health IT professional services company comprised of data, AI, applications, and operations experts, has once again been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare. This annual award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide.
Cardamom cultivates a team-oriented culture that empowers its diverse workforce to grow, thrive, and deliver meaningful outcomes for its customers. The company’s values and dual mission have guided its commitment to customer success, community partnership, and an award-winning workplace through a period of rapid growth. This is Cardamom’s second year of eligibility and its second appearance on the Best Places to Work in Healthcare list.
“I’m grateful for the incredible team we have here at Cardamom," said CEO Vivek Swaminathan. “By bringing in wonderful people that are aligned with our mission and core values, we know we can make a tremendous impact on healthcare in this country. When I see such great customer satisfaction scores coupled with this recognition as one of the best places to work in Healthcare, I know we’re on the right track. Thank you Modern Healthcare for this recognition and thank you to our team, customers, and partners who make this all possible.”
To determine the best places to work, Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on an assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey and employer questionnaire.
“Healthcare is changing rapidly as new technologies are adopted on both the clinical and administrative sides,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Still, the most forward-looking companies understand that employees are the heart of their organizations. Creating the right culture, with the appropriate mix of financial rewards, training and career advancement opportunities — as embodied by our honorees of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare — will be imperative for long-term employee and employer success.”
Cardamom will find out their ranking on the Best Places list and be celebrated at the 2026 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala taking place Sept. 16 in Houston, as well as being featured in a special supplemental issue of Modern Healthcare.
