Fort Worth-based TimelyMD, the leading virtual health and well-being solution in higher education, has been named to Inc. magazine’s Best Workplaces list.
The annual list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of U.S. companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or virtual facility.
After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 475 honorees this year. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture.
The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. Employee feedback rated TimelyMD particularly highly for employee engagement, professional growth opportunities, company benefits, and feeling valued by senior leadership.
“Culture is the DNA of a company. One of our goals at TimelyMD is to be an employer of choice, and central to that is creating an environment in which our team feels fulfilled by what they do,” says Jacki Craft, chief people officer at TimelyMD, in a statement. “Every decision we make is guided by our core values of passionate people, accountability, innovation, growth, quality of service and positive impact, and it’s an honor to be recognized as an employer where people thrive.”
TimelyMD was the only Fort Worth company to make the list. JB Warranties Corp. of Argyle was selected. The full list is here.

In the past year, TimelyMD added top talent to key leadership positions and doubled in size. As a virtual care company, it embraces a flexible work environment for its 150 full-time employees, about half of whom live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to company officials.
“Not long ago, the term ‘best workplace’ would have conjured up images of open-office designs with stocked snack fridges,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Yet, given the widespread adoption of remote work, the concept of the workplace has shifted. This year, Inc. has recognized the organizations dedicated to redefining and enriching the workplace in the face of the pandemic.”
Founded in 2017, TimelyMD serves as a 24/7 virtual extension of campus health and counseling center resources, with a goal of improving student well-being, engagement, and retention. Now TimelyMD serves nearly one million college students at 200 campuses across the country, including Duke University, Emory University, Georgetown University, Northwestern University, University of Notre Dame, University of Chicago, University of Virginia, Wake Forest University and Washington University in St. Louis. It also serves more than half a million community college students, with system agreements in California, Connecticut and Virginia.
“We owe every measure of success and growth to our incredible team of passionate people. They are the reason TimelyMD has matured from a start-up with a vision for helping college students be well and thrive to the industry leader in delivering equitable, on-demand access to care,” says Luke Hejl, CEO and co-founder of TimelyMD. “It’s an honor to earn Inc.’s recognition as a Best Workplace as we fulfill our mission to help improve the well-being of college students, and it makes our work that much more meaningful.”
Appearing on the best workplaces list is the latest in a series of recent recognitions for TimelyMD. Just last week, the annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program named TimelyMD the “Best Overall Mobile Health Solution.” In March, Inc. ranked TimelyMD as the seventh-fastest growing private company in the Southwest and first among those in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. D CEO Magazine recently honored the company for “Innovation in Healthcare,” “Achievement in Innovation" and “Outstanding CFO.”
