Saint Joseph Health System awarded Mental Health America Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health

Saint Joseph Health System (SJHS) is proud to announce that it has been awarded a 2026 Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health, the nation’s top recognition for U.S. employers committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces. SJHS also earned the Gold Bell Seal in 2024, reflecting its ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive culture and prioritizing employee well-being. The Bell Seal is issued by Mental Health America, the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being of all people living in the U.S. 

“This recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to caring for the whole person, including the well-being of our own people,” said Chris Karam, president of Saint Joseph Health System. “Creating a workplace where every individual feels valued and supported is essential to our mission, and I am grateful to our teams who make that possible every day.”

SJHS was evaluated on its policies and practices in four areas: culture, benefits, compliance, and whole-health wellness programs. 

SJHS is committed to providing the best for its employees and looks forward to continuing work to ensure they uphold the standards the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health set forth.

Since 2019, Mental Health America has awarded the Bell Seal to hundreds of employers for supporting the mental health of 5.1 million employees combined, following decades of research into best practices in workplace mental health.
