WINDSOR, Conn. – For the 13th year in a row, nonprofit behavioral healthcare provider Community Health Resources (CHR) was named a Top Workplace among large employers in CT.
Awards were announced during tonight’s Top Workplaces Reception, hosted by the Hartford Courant. The annual awards are based on anonymous data collected by more than 20,000 Connecticut employees. This year, 59 organizations of different sizes were honored as Top Workplaces.
“Awards like these don’t happen by chance – they reflect the dedication, compassion, and culture our team builds every day,” said Heather Gates, CHR’s President and CEO. “At CHR, it’s not just luck; it’s people, purpose, and a shared commitment to inspiring hope for individual and community wellbeing.”
This recognition joins a growing list of honors from USA TODAY, Newsweek, and the Hartford Courant naming CHR a national and state 2026 Top Workplace, along with recognition as a 2026 Nonprofit Top Workplace and a 2026 Top Workplace for Women and for Culture, Belonging, and Community.
