Forum has done it again! For the fifth year in a row, Forum Extended Care Services has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Illinois—a milestone that speaks volumes about our people, our culture, and our mission.

This recognition, awarded by the Daily Herald Suburban Business and sponsored by Shaker Recruitment Marketing, reflects the voices of our employees and the strength of our workplace. It’s not just an honor—it’s validation that what we’re building here is truly special.

“Being named a Best Place to Work for five straight years is a testament to our people-first culture,” said Brian Kramer, RPh, MBA, President & CIO at Forum. “We support our teams the same way we support our clients—fully, consistently, and with the future in mind.”

“In long-term care pharmacy, the work we do carries immense responsibility—it demands precision, consistency, and a deep commitment to those we serve,” he added. “This recognition, grounded in our team’s feedback, is a reflection of the extraordinary collaboration and dedication that power everything we do at Forum.”

Rooted in the key principle of engaging employees in all aspects of the Forum experience, team members have created a culture that depends on employee diversity for its strength; success is based on everyone’s efforts, contributions, and honest communication. Focusing on the customer’s mission guides employees in actively making suggestions and driving changes. The Forum culture is one of professional development, personal growth, and celebration.
