The SEANC team spent this week trekking through the mountains, making several stops in Asheville and Morganton, and signing up more than 100 new members along the way! The team had some early mornings and late nights, making sure that all of the employees had a chance to eat and learn more about the benefits that SEANC has to offer. 

Starting in Asheville, we visited Black Mountain Neuro-Medical Center, the Julian F. Keith Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center, and the Substance Abuse Treatment Center for Women. 

Later in the week, we went to Morganton to visit Broughton Hospital and the J. Iverson Riddle Developmental Center.

We want to thank all the members, employees, and volunteers who came to show their support for SEANC!

Would you like for SEANC to stop at your worksite? We're always looking to add to the list. Just let us know!

SEANC is partnering with the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services to hold virtual town halls in the coming weeks to address questions and concerns that Division of State Operated Healthcare Facilities (DSOHF) employees may have about salary, benefits, and other matters.
