"This is Community Care's third time winning this award in four years.

Every person in our organization plays a vital role in assuring that compassion, excellence and the health of our patients remain our guiding focus." said Michelle Ryan, Director of Human Resources of Community Care Physicians. "We entered the award program because we wanted to hear directly from our employees about their views of the company."

"Community Care's structure and culture is unique" said Ryan. "Physicians and staff of individual medical offices work in concert with members of the administrative central services to support daily operations. Community Care is well resourced and operates under a level management structure where Senior Management is approachable to all within the company."

The top companies will be profiled in a special supplement of The Business Review issued on December 5 and will be honored at a celebration on December 4 at the Crowne Plaza in Albany.
