The Aspen Group Earns Workplace Excellence Award

---

The Aspen Group (TAG), a leading healthcare support organization, recently announced it has been named to Built In’s 2026 Best Large Places to Work in Chicago list. The recognition reflects TAG’s ongoing commitment to building a workplace where people feel supported, empowered, and connected to a shared mission: bringing better healthcare to more people.

TAG’s Chicago headquarters, located in the vibrant Fulton Market district, serves as the center of its industry-leading learning and development ecosystem, comprised of The Aspen Group University (TAG U) and the nearby Oral Care Center for Excellence. These facilities prioritize advanced clinical education and hands-on training for doctors, hygienists, and care teams across the five consumer healthcare brands supported by TAG: Aspen Dental®, ClearChoice Dental Implant Center®, WellNow Urgent Care®, Chapter Aesthetic Studio℠, and Lovet Pet Health Care.

TAG’s Practice Support Center, which includes the learning and development programs delivered through TAG U and the Oral Care Center of Excellence, plays a central role in developing the leaders and support teams who enable success across TAG’s network. These programs also provide clinicians with immersive simulation, mentorship, leadership development, and continuing education that build confidence and expand their scope of practice. Oral health clinicians further benefit from live-patient implant and extraction training, gaining hands-on experience that deepens clinical skill and enables doctors to expand services and grow their practices. Together, these efforts reflect TAG’s commitment to developing both clinical and non-clinical professionals in support of high-quality care.

“We’re honored to be recognized as one of Chicago’s Best Large Places to Work,” said Jacob Allen, chief human resources officer at The Aspen Group. “TAG’s mission is to bring better healthcare to more people, and that starts with creating an environment where our team members can grow and succeed. By investing in meaningful training, modern workspaces, and opportunities for advancement, we equip our people to deliver exceptional support to the doctors and practices we serve, ultimately helping clinicians provide the highest quality care in their communities. This recognition reflects the culture we’re committed to building – one grounded in purpose, development, and teamwork.”
