For the second year in a row, Newport Healthcare has earned Certification™ as a Great Place to Work®—a prestigious award based entirely on current employee feedback about their experience working at Newport. This designation is the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture.
The percentage of employees who consider Newport a great place to work is 10 percent higher than the typical US company. Our employees report that their work at Newport has special meaning, that this is not “just a job.” They feel they’re making a difference, and experience a sense of pride about what we accomplish together and how we contribute to the community. Moreover, the vast majority of our employees feel they are treated fairly regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or race.
“We are thrilled to become Great Place to Work-Certified™ as we consider employee experience a top priority, integral to our success in helping clients and families. We are very proud of our dedicated, compassionate workforce and value their contributions to making Newport a great place to work,” says Joe Procopio, CEO of Newport Healthcare.
Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily; it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience. Earning this designation means that Newport Healthcare is one of the best companies to work for in the country

4. Opportunities to grow your skills

We offer continuing education, student loan repayment, and tuition reimbursement for all employees, and specialized training for clinicians in DBT, EMDR, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and more.
5. Collaborative team
At each of our nationwide locations, the team maintains close communication, with daily huddles, all-staff meetings, and regular staff trainings, as well as holiday parties and other social get-togethers to help us stay connected. Moreover, because our integrated care teams are multidisciplinary, all roles work together—including direct care staff, nurses, psychiatrists, dieticians, clinical outreach specialists, therapists, teachers, chefs, and more. They’re not just passing each other in the hallways, they’re collaborating and innovating together to continually improve every aspect of our treatment.
6. Career advancement options
We place great value on promoting from within our team whenever possible, and many of our entry-level staff are promoted within months or years of joining us. For example, many of our direct care staff go on to become counselors or leaders within our operations teams. We also offer flexibility between locations, so a staff member might be promoted to an open position at another facility, or can request a transfer to another campus.
7. Beautiful environments
Our residential and outpatient programs around the country are located in spacious, comfortable homes and campuses in gorgeous natural settings, with amenities including on-site gardens, art and music studios, gyms, peaceful spaces for yoga and meditation, and academic classrooms and Learning Labs outfitted with the latest technology. We want our facilities to be places where people are happy to come to work, where it feels healing, comfortable, and beautiful for staff as well as clients.
8. Diverse and inclusive culture
As stewards of mental healthcare, it is our responsibility and privilege to foster a safe culture of diversity and inclusion, guided by awareness, education, and our core values of love, empathy, and connection. Together, we will continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse and authentic voices of our employees, clients, families, and communities.
9. A focus on staff well-being
There’s life at work and life outside of work. We want everyone to be healthy, have time to give back, and receive the support they need. Employees participate in self-care workshops, yoga classes, and team-building initiatives. Direct care staff often participate alongside clients in outdoor activities and Adventure Therapy sessions—hiking, taking surfing lessons, ziplining, mixed martial arts, and more. We know that working in the healthcare field is demanding, and that staff need to refill the well in order to be their best selves.
10. The rewards of helping to change lives
It’s incredibly rewarding to be able to support families in their time of need and create a sense of hope for them during their healing journey. Our staff are inspired every day by the transformations they witness in the teens, young adults, and families they serve. And the caring and compassion of our team make a lasting impact on our clients. “I will never forget the relationships I built at Newport,” says alum Grace S. “The staff pushed me to grow in ways I never thought I would.”
