The Wilson Chamber of Commerce announces that Carolina Family Health Centers (CFHC) has been named an “Employer of Distinction”.  In order for an employer to merit the Employer of Distinction designation, they must self-report conditions that distinguish the organization as a safe and desirable place to work, and a place where employees feel valued.  The Chamber uses a rubric that measures employer excellence in 10 categories, and assigns a corresponding point value which is self-reported by the employer.  Employers who report having achieved no less than 225 points (of a possible 300), earn the title “Employer of Distinction”. 
 
Through an extensive application process designed by the Chamber, CFHC scored highly in the following categories:
 
Active membership in the Wilson Chamber of Commerce
Competitive wage standards
Compassionate senior-level management
Paid time off benefits
Employee health and well-being
Workplace safety
Employee retention
Professional development
Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging
Mission-focused workplace
 
CFHC are Federally Qualified Health Centers and private, nonprofit, patient-governed, community-directed organizations that remove common barriers to care by serving communities whose residents have historically experienced financial, geographic, language, cultural or other barriers to receiving care. CFHC provide a health care home that integrates high quality medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and enabling services without regard to a person’s ability to pay.
