SUNRISE, Fla., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) has been named to the Becker’s 2026 “165 Top Places to Work in Healthcare” list, marking another year of national recognition for NAPA’s clinician-led, people-first organization. Becker’s Healthcare annually recognizes healthcare companies that demonstrate outstanding commitment to employee engagement, transparency, and mission-driven leadership. NAPA’s continued inclusion on this list reflects its role as both a trusted clinical partner and a workplace of choice in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

Since 1986, NAPA has remained anchored in a clear mission of delivering exceptional experiences. This mission shapes how NAPA’s anesthesia teams operate across hundreds of facilities nationwide, supporting millions of patients each year. NAPA’s vision to grow responsibly while serving as a catalyst for positive change in healthcare guides its workplace culture.

“This recognition reflects the dedication, compassion, and leadership our teams bring to patients and clients in the communities they serve,” said Rafael Cartagena, MD, Chief Executive Officer of NAPA. “By empowering our clinicians and supporting them with a strong infrastructure and shared purpose, we help drive healthcare excellence where it matters most—at the bedside.”
