[Birmingham, AL, September 18, 2024]Fast Company today announced its sixth annual Best Workplaces for Innovators, honoring organizations and businesses that demonstrate an inspiring commitment to encourage and develop innovation at all levels. Acclinate, a leading digital health company that mobilizes health equity through sustained engagement, predictive analytics, and AI, was recognized among the top six finalists for Best Workplaces for Innovators: Healthcare.

The 2024 Best Workplaces for Innovators awards celebrates winners from a variety of industries, including entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged goods, marketing, education, healthcare, and many more. To be considered for this esteemed recognition, all of this year's competitors completed an application that addressed questions about projects, investment, companywide programs, and workplace culture.
