Frozen Mexican food processor Ruiz Food Products Inc. has opened another on-site health center for its insured employees and their covered family members, this time at its Dinuba, Calif., plant. The company previously opened health centers at its Florence, S.C., and Denison, Texas, facilities in late 2023.
The Ruiz Foods Health Center, operated by CareATC, will provide access to primary care — including lab tests, chronic health services and generic prescription medications at no additional cost. A physician, nurse practitioner and two medical assistants will staff the center, which opened on Feb. 12, 2024.
“The convenience of an on-site health center is proven to improve team member health while lowering the cost of care for team members and the company,” Kimberli Carrol, president and CEO of Ruiz Foods, said in a release distributed by the company. “We hope Ruiz Foods team members will appreciate that our health centers will intentionally schedule longer appointments than standard clinics, so our healthcare professionals have more time to answer questions and improve employee health.”
