HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Neighbors Emergency Center is happy to announce its selection as a Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle for the third year in a row.

The Top Workplaces are determined based on an employee survey conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm studying organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with 40 major publishing partners across the United States.

Neighbors Emergency Center is a Top Workplace selection because employees are valued from the physicians, to the nurses, to the administrative staff. Neighbors provides a great, team-oriented working environment and excellent benefits. Even though each emergency center is run independently, everyone feels like part of the Neighbors family. One way this is achieved is through employee appreciation outings, such as paintball tournaments, bowling nights, go-cart racing and team-building events.

In response to Neighbors Emergency Center's inclusion in the Houston Chronicle's Top Workplaces list for 2014, Neighbors CEO, Setul G. Patel, MD, MBA, said, "We are honored to once again be on this prestigious list of top workplaces in Houston. At Neighbors Emergency Center, we make it a point to foster camaraderie and a great team-oriented, patient care environment."

Karen Noack, Executive Administrative Assistant at the new Mueller location in Austin said, "Neighbors Emergency Center is a great place to work. It's nice to work in an environment where everyone has the common goal of putting the patient first."

The free-standing emergency rooms have been voted the best ER in Baytown, TX and Pearland, TX and one of Houston's Top Workplaces.

Neighbors Emergency Center has plans to open ten new centers in 2015, including locations in College Station, El Paso, and Texas City.
