After a year of turmoil for many businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley, the SCV Economic Development Corp. released its list of the area’s largest employers.
At the top of this year’s list is Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, which, after a yearlong pandemic, comes as no surprise, with the hospital moving from No. 5 to No. 1 on the list.
“As a medical center for the Santa Clarita Valley, we are pleased to play such a significant regional economic role, and we are tremendously proud of how our nearly 2,000 employees have worked so heroically during the past year,” hospital spokesman Patrick Moody said. “We also very much hope our valley’s historic major employers return to their pre-pandemic employment levels as the economy improves.”
