Franciscan was also chosen as Best Hospital, Best Health Care Facility for Cardiology, Best Health Care Facility for Treating Cancer, Best Urgent / Immediate Care Clinic, Best Occupational Health Care Practice, Best Fitness and Wellness Facility.

Our readers make their picks in dozens of categories.

“The best of the best.” We all think quite highly of our state, and our region within the state. It’s the best, for sure, and no one will persuade us to believe anything different. So who is the best of the best? What businesses and organizations stand out among our area’s impressive crowd?

That’s what we try to reveal each year through Northwest Indiana Business Quarterly’s reader survey … we’re measuring the high opinions of our readers, who are business leaders but also customers across the business community. To those honored businesses and organizations, we say “congratulations!” And we couldn’t have done this without the countless readers who took time to vote in our online survey. Thank you for your participation in our annual celebration!
