GE Appliances Opens Onsite Advanced Primary Care Clinic for Monogram Refrigeration LLC Employees and Families in Tennessee

America’s #1 Appliance Company¹, GE Appliances, a Haier company, today announced the opening of a new onsite advanced primary care clinic at its Monogram Refrigeration LLC plant in Selmer, Tennessee. This state-of-the-art clinic will serve employees and their covered family members (age two and older), marking the first workplace-based health clinic of its kind in McNairy County. The new advanced primary care clinic is in addition to the traditional health coverage benefits offered by the company.

“In today’s fast-paced world, providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare is more important than ever—especially in rural manufacturing communities,” said Rocki Rockingham, Chief Human Resources Officer for GE Appliances. “This clinic is more than a benefit; it’s a key part of our strategy to be an employer of choice and attract and retain the talent we need to operate and grow in a competitive labor market. Our employees deserve the best, and that includes healthcare that’s close to work, easy to access, and focused on their whole well-being.”

The new facility is GE Appliances’ third onsite advanced primary care clinic, with a fourth location planned to open in Alabama. Monogram Refrigeration LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Appliances, manufactures luxury refrigeration products and Zoneline® air conditioners in Selmer and is one of the largest employers in the region.

“When manufacturers invest in the holistic well-being of their workforce, they’re doing more than offering benefits—they’re making a powerful statement that their people are their greatest asset,” said Carolyn Lee, President and Executive Director of the Manufacturing Institute. “These investments in people play a critical role in both attracting and retaining talent. At the Manufacturing Institute, our research consistently shows that team members are more likely to stay—and thrive—when they believe their employer truly cares about them. It’s not just the right thing to do; it’s a smart strategy for attracting and retaining the skilled talent that drives our industry forward.”

Healthcare Where It’s Needed Most

The clinic is designed to deliver high-quality, value-based care that puts patients at the center of their healthcare journey. It will remain open until 6 p.m.—later than other regional clinics—and will offer an array of services, including:

• Advanced primary care
• Mental health services (a critical need in the region, where many currently drive to Corinth, MS for access)
• Access to a registered dietician
• Prescription services for common medications
• The new primary care clinic will be managed by third-party healthcare provider CareATC.

These offerings are designed to meet the unique healthcare needs of employees and their families, ensuring timely and convenient access to care without having to travel long distances.

Proven Results and Expanding Access

The Selmer clinic builds on the success of GE Appliances’ existing onsite clinics at its plants in Louisville, Kentucky and LaFayette, Georgia. Over the past two years, the company has seen:

• A 45% increase in employees using CareATC clinic services
• A 37% rise in overall visits
• A 35% increase in preventative care visits
• A 17% increase in mental health appointments
• A 70% reduction in avoidable ER visits among employees using the clinics

Employees are averaging 4.82 visits per year, far surpassing industry benchmarks, demonstrating strong engagement and driving improvements in health outcomes. “We believe healthier employees make for a stronger workforce and a stronger community,” said Michele Clark, Global Wellbeing Leader at GE Appliances. “By investing in advanced primary care close to where our people live and work, we’re not only helping them stay healthier—we’re giving them a reason to stay in a manufacturing career over other opportunities.”
