 Employer of Choice Inc. of Greensboro, N.C., certifies employers as
deserving of the designation. Memorial's Healthcare Network
Associates is one of fewer than 30 employers nationwide to earn the
prestigious award. Of those, only 10 have received the award two or
more times."It is very unusual for an organization to qualify for
this coveted award two years in a row," said Joyce Gioia, president
and CEO of Employer of Choice. "HCNA is to be commended for its
outstanding performance."
The designation follows a rigorous evaluation process and
recognizes HCNA for "demonstrating dedication to a higher level of
employee relationships, a level that goes far above and beyond
normal practices," Gioia said.
In addition to Family Medical Center of Lincoln, other Healthcare
Network Associates clinics and physician offices are located in
Springfield, Chatham, Petersburg and Jacksonville.
"Our employees are our most valuable asset, and the Employer of
Choice designation recognizes that," said Travis Dowell, HCNA vice
president. "This recognition would simply not be possible without
the knowledge, skills, experience and dedication our employees,
physicians, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants bring
to our clinics and our patients."
Gioia added that organizations designated as an Employer of
Choice are better able to attract great employees, provide excellent
career opportunities and retain dedicated talent than other
organizations.

"Employers of Choice have the knowledge, experience, resiliency and
power to respond quickly to their customers' needs, delivering what
customers want more efficiently and effectively than competitors
plagued by employee turnover," Gioia said. "This strength allows
them to maintain high levels of customer service and loyalty."
"Our employees recognize that our patients are at the center of
all we do," Dowell said. "They proudly work toward fulfilling
Memorial Health System's mission of helping to maintain, restore and
improve the health of the people and communities we serve. Our
patients can be assured that as an Employer of Choice, we will
continue to provide the patient-centered care they expect and
deserve."
