Computerworld Names Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta One of the Best Places to Work in IT
ATLANTA (December 9, 2025) – Foundry's Computerworld named Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as a 2026 Best Places to Work in IT for the eighth year in a row. This award recognizes the top organizations that challenge their IT staffs while providing great benefits and compensation. This year Children’s was ranked 15th among large organizations, the highest ranking the system has received.
“Healthcare has a unique opportunity to embrace bold innovation right now, as many rapidly developing technology and AI advancements are starting to produce real results,” said Jeremy Meller, Chief Information Officer of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. “When we opened Arthur M. Blank Hospital in 2024, we designed patient, family, and provider experiences from the ground up, leveraging the latest technologies to transform care delivery. From robotic delivery systems and location-aware patient engagement platforms to integrated medical devices powering AI-driven decision support, these capabilities enable us to provide increasingly exceptional care. As we continue to layer AI onto this digital foundation, we are unlocking even greater potential—personalizing experiences, surfacing insights from system-wide data, and empowering our teams to make faster, better-informed decisions.”
The information technology division at Children’s brings together analysts, developers, technicians, engineers and information architects to manage every application and piece of sensitive digital data to support organizational operations, protect patients’ health information, and improve quality of care and patient experience. The team at Children’s demonstrates the value of its dedicated employees through engagement programs that allow non-management staff members to serve on advice- and decision-making councils. They also accelerate integration of new employees into teams through an onboarding cohort program that allows team building while simultaneously learning relevant processes and expectations.
“It’s clear that AI is having a disruptive impact on IT operations and IT talent,” says Barbara Call, global director of content strategy at Foundry. “This year’s honorees demonstrate how organizations are proactively evolving their talent strategies to fill much-needed skills gaps and reskill existing staff to be more resilient and responsive to changing needs.”
