WAKEFIELD, R.I. – September 1, 2015 – Providence Business News has named South County Health as one of the winners in its fourth annual Healthiest Employers recognition program, receiving the distinction of being number one in its category (500-1,499 employees) and as well as the fourth-highest score overall.
“We pride ourselves on having created a healthy work environment, so to receive this recognition is a great honor,” said South County Health President and CEO Louis Giancola.
The 34 finalists, chosen based on scores in six wellness categories – culture and leadership commitment, foundation components, strategic planning, communication and marketing, programming and interventions, and reporting and analysis – were honored at an Aug. 13 luncheon at the Providence Marriott Downtown, featuring Provant Health Services LLC Founder and CEO Heather Provino as the keynote speaker.
The winners completed a 75-question assessment that was scored using a proprietary system by Healthiest Employers Inc., which conducts similar surveys in roughly 50 markets nationwide.
The finalists were broken down into five categories based on the number of total company employees.
