At Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin, we’ve always believed that great patient care starts with a strong team. Today, we’re proud to share that this belief has been recognized in a big way.
OAW has been named a 2026 Top Workplace, not only in Southeast Wisconsin, but also on a national level by USA Today.
This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s based entirely on employee feedback. The Top Workplaces award measures what truly matters in a workplace: connection, leadership, growth, and how supported employees feel in their roles.
What This Recognition Means
Each year, thousands of organizations across the country participate in the Top Workplaces program. What sets this award apart is simple: it cannot be bought. It must be earned through honest, anonymous employee feedback.
That means this recognition reflects the real experiences of our team. It speaks to the environment we’ve built together, one that values collaboration, respect, and a shared commitment to doing what’s best for our patients.
More Than One Award
In addition to national recognition, OAW has also been honored across multiple categories that highlight the strength of our workplace culture, including:
- Employee Well-Being
- Professional Development
- Leadership
- Innovation
- Purpose and Values
- Work-Life Flexibility
- Healthcare Industry Recognition
- Regional Top Workplace honors
These awards reinforce something we strive for every day: creating a place where people feel supported, empowered, and proud of the work they do.
A Reflection of Our Team
Awards like this don’t happen by accident. They are the result of a team that shows up for each other, supports one another, and stays focused on delivering exceptional care.
At OAW, our people are at the center of everything we do. Every role contributes to the experience our patients receive.
Looking Ahead
While we’re incredibly proud of this recognition, we also know there is always room to grow.
We remain committed to listening, learning, and continuing to improve, for our team and for the patients who trust us with their care.
If you’re looking to be part of a team that values collaboration, growth, and patient-first care, we invite you to explore opportunities with us.
