Within Health Named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers 2026 for Second Consecutive Year
Recognition reinforces Within’s clinically led, outcomes-driven model, and the team behind it
COCONUT GROVE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Within Health, the first ever provider of fully remote, outcomes-based eating disorder treatment, has been named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers 2026, marking Within’s second consecutive year on the list. The acknowledgment emphasizes Within’s commitment to building a clinically led, high-performance workplace, because a thriving team is essential to delivering the highest quality care to patients.
Each year, Forbes, in partnership with market research firm Statista, evaluates more than 20,000 U.S.-based startups, narrowing the pool to approximately 2,700–3,000 companies for deeper analysis before selecting the top 500. Companies are assessed based on three key factors:
- Employer Reputation: Evaluated through social listening and external signals across news articles, blogs, and social media
- Employee Satisfaction: Measured through employee feedback signals, including online reviews, retention indicators, workplace policies, and DEI efforts
- Company Growth: Assessed through business performance indicators such as headcount growth, job openings, and web traffic trends
“Being recognized by Forbes for a second year is a reflection of the standards we hold, clinically and operationally, and the people who live them every day,” said Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer of Within Health. “Within is clinically led, which means we build for safety, quality, and outcomes first. This honor validates the culture required to do that at scale: disciplined, collaborative, mission-driven, and deeply accountable to patients.”
Within was founded on the belief that everyone should have access to high-quality, compassionate eating disorder treatment, regardless of who or where they are. Within’s fully remote model is designed to remove traditional barriers to care, expanding access while maintaining clinical rigor, multidisciplinary support, and consistent measurement of outcomes.
In 2026, the recognition also reflects continued validation of Within’s model across coverage, outcomes, and credibility. Within is now in-network with most major commercial insurance plans, helping more patients access specialized eating disorder care with fewer delays and fewer cost barriers. Within also publishes outcomes reporting and has contributed to peer-reviewed research supporting its enhanced PHP and IOP remote model.
“We built Within to prove that higher-acuity eating disorder care can be delivered remotely with rigor, and that a distributed, clinically led team can outperform old assumptions,” said Abhilash Patel, Co-Founder and President of Within Health. “This award matters because you can’t apply for it. It’s earned through independent evaluation, and it reflects the team, the standards, and the systems that make outcomes possible.”
Unlike most awards, companies cannot apply for this distinction; it is earned through an independent evaluation. Within’s inclusion on the 2026 list reinforces its commitment to developing a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing environment where clinicians and operators can do their best work and make a meaningful impact.
