Edward Jones receives national recognition for Health and Wellness Program

Edward Jones was named among the 2025 Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance by Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work®. The firm ranked No. 7 in the large company category.

Edward Jones has been honored with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Corporate Citizens Award for Best Health and Wellness Program in recognition of its strategic alliance with the Alzheimer’s Association® supporting more than 600 Walks to End Alzheimer’s each year and raising more than $45 million over the past 9 years.

The Citizens Awards recognize companies that demonstrate exemplary corporate citizenship and impact in strengthening communities through innovative and impactful initiatives that leverage a company’s talent, resources and expertise to improve communities.

“Edward Jones is focused on helping people build wealth and secure their financial futures, but Alzheimer’s stands in the way and impacts far too many of the firm’s 8 million clients, 54,000 associates and community members,” says Ken Cella, principal, Head of External Affairs. “Our goal is to be a powerful local presence, mobilizing our colleagues, clients and communities in the fight to find a cure.”
