COLUMBIA – Prisma Health has been recognized by Fortune magazine as one of America’s Most Innovative Companies for 2025—an honor that highlights the healthcare system’s commitment to excellence in patient care, workplace innovation, and cutting-edge technology.
The recognition is particularly notable as Prisma Health is one of only 36 health systems to receive the distinction nationwide and the only one in South Carolina to make the list.
“This recognition reflects our dedication to developing innovative solutions that enhance patient care and streamline our operations,” said Mark O’Halla, president and CEO of Prisma Health. “We’re equally committed to creating a supportive and efficient environment for our physicians, nurses, and staff.”
The Fortune list, compiled in collaboration with Statista, ranks companies based on surveys of over 40,000 U.S. employees and 2,500 industry experts. Companies were evaluated in three categories:
-
Product Innovation – Introduction and improvement of healthcare services and the strength of patent portfolios.
-
Process Innovation – Adoption of new technologies and digital tools to improve delivery and efficiency.
-
Innovation Culture – Fostering a workplace that encourages creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking.
“At our core, we believe that our team members and our patients are amazing,” said Dr. Jonathan Gleason, chief clinical officer. “Our responsibility is to build elite systems of care that significantly improve the experience of giving and receiving care.”
Prisma Health’s recognition is a testament to its continued leadership in healthcare innovation, both across South Carolina and the nation.
