Employee health center for Ruiz Food Products opens in Dinuba

DINUBA, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The largest frozen Mexican food manufacturer in the United States, Ruiz Food Products Inc., announced Wednesday the opening of an on-site health center for insured team members at the plant in Dinuba. It also will cover covered family members.

The company says this is the third on-site health center that Ruiz Foods has opened to accommodate team members.

According to the company, the on-site health center will provide insured team members and covered family members with access to primary care, including lab tests, chronic health services and generic prescription medications at no additional costs. The health center will be staffed by a physician, nurse practitioner and two medical assistants.

“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,” said Kimberli Carroll, president and CEO of Ruiz Foods. “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.”

The Ruiz Foods Health Center opened to team members on Feb. 12.
