Community AIDS Network (CAN) Recognized as one of the ‘Best Places to Work’ in 2017

Community AIDS Network (CAN) is honored to announce that it was voted as one of the Herald-Tribune’s 2017 “Best Places to Work.” The winners of the “Best Places to Work” award were voted on by company employees. When the survey was distributed, CAN had a total of 134 employees, 82 of whom were located within Sarasota and Manatee counties. The organization’s scores were high enough to secure 9th place out of 25 companies in the competition.

The Herald-Tribune hired the Best Companies Group, an independent research firm that conducted the surveys, analyzed the data and determined the winners and rankings. The employee survey consisted of in-depth statements that employees rated on a five-point scale, from “Agree Strongly” to “Disagree Strongly.” It also included seven demographic and two open-ended questions.

CAN recently celebrated its 26th year serving the needs of the HIV/AIDS community in Florida. CAN boasts 27 clinics in locations throughout Florida and continues to grow, most recently expanding to Columbia, South Carolina. To date, CAN serves more than 15,000 patients within the network.

“We treat people like I would treat my family member, my brother or my sister. We treat our employees well, and they treat our customers well,” stated Richard E. Carlisle, CAN president and CEO. “I think there’s a united effort among us that we all have one mission and we’re very mission-driven.”
