First Stop Health Again Named One of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces

May 9, 2023 (Chicago) – First Stop Health (FSH), a leading virtual care company, has been named to Inc. Magazine’s annual list of Best Workplaces for a second year in a row. According to Inc., FSH employees are highly engaged because senior leadership values people as the most important resource. Overwhelmingly, employees described FSH’s work environment as caring. 

“All of us at FSH are striving towards providing delightful, affordable care,” said FSH CEO, Teira Gunlock. “Uniting around that mission has created a foundation of mutual respect that every role is important. I’m thrilled this team is being recognized, again, for the caring FSH community we have built and I’m excited about our plans to further strengthen it and ensure it’s a place people love.”  

The Inc. Best Workplaces list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or virtual facility. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.  

FSH has been named on an Inc. list for 6 years in a row, including 2018 through 2022 as one of the fastest growing private companies on the Inc. 5000 list. The 2023 ranking for the Inc. 5000 list has not yet been announced.
