Harvard Vanguard was ranked 15th among Massachusetts large employers, defined as those with 1,000 or more employees.

“We are proud that our organization has been on this list for four consecutive years and that our rating continues to improve each year,” said Dr. Gene Lindsey, president and CEO of Harvard Vanguard. “Our employees are the cornerstone of our success.”
