SALINA, N.Y. — Dot Foods, Inc. on Tuesday formally opened a new on-site family health center at its Liverpool distribution center at 200 Monarch Drive in the town of Salina.
The new center is “expanding access to low-cost, high-quality” health care for Dot Foods employees and their families, the company said in its announcement. Dot Foods, Inc. describes itself as the largest food-industry redistributor in North America.
The new Dot Family Health Center (FHC) is located in the distribution center’s existing parking area. The FHC offers a range of health-care services designed to meet the needs of nearly 390 Liverpool Dot and Dot Transportation (DTI) employees, their spouses, and dependent children enrolled in Dot’s and DTI’s medical-insurance programs.

The 1,520-square-foot Family Health Center, operated by Marathon Health, includes exam rooms, a laboratory, and office space. It offers medical services that include preventive screenings; chronic-disease management (such as high blood pressure and diabetes); wellness education; annual physicals; lab work; and vaccinations. Employees and their families also have access to low-cost or no-cost generic prescriptions, making essential medications more accessible.
“Dot’s business is food, not health care,” Mandi Clark, Dot Foods VP of human resources, said in the announcement. “But we pride ourselves on being problem solvers. So, when it comes to our Family Health Centers, we make it a point to find great partners that allow us to provide a great health-care experience for our employees. We’re excited to work with Marathon Health at our Liverpool FHC to make sure our employees feel the difference that comprehensive, personalized care makes. Many of the services are free when employees visit the FHC, and if there is a cost, it’s usually very low. Employees can use money from their health savings account or payroll deduction to cover the bill.”
The Liverpool distribution center marks Dot’s 12th on-site or near-site health center. The company launched the initiative at its Georgia distribution center in 2013 and has since expanded it to nearly all U.S. locations. Dot will open its 13th and final Family Health Center at its Bear, Delaware, distribution center later this year, the company said.
