House of Raeford Farms is pleased to announce the opening of a new Employee Center for Health and Wellness located in Wallace, NC. The facility, operated in partnership with TransformHealthRX, is designed to serve local employees of the company’s Rose Hill and Wallace processing plants as well as Nash Johnson and Sons’ Farms and Johnson Breeders.
Employees and dependents currently enrolled in House of Raeford’s health care plan are eligible to receive all their primary care needs for acute and chronic conditions, along with medications and lab services on site. Associates with diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol will have access to a special program designed to manage their chronic conditions through regular monitoring, education, and encouragement.
“Over the years House of Raeford has faced rising health care costs, but we have intentionally kept the employee’s out-of-pocket portion of the coverage as low as possible”, said Bob Johnson, CEO for House of Raeford. “Having the center in the local community makes healthcare accessible and affordable for all employees. Lowering costs by shifting from retail to wholesale and keeping employees healthy with high quality care is a win-win for all involved”.
The clinic is staffed by a medical doctor as well as nursing support personnel, and is open Monday through Friday.
