Houston – The Houston Business Journal (HBJ) recently recognized Next Level Urgent Care (NLUC) among the top five 2021 best places to work in Houston at a Team Spirit-themed awards luncheon held recently at the Marriott Marquis.

The HBJ Best Places to Work Award selected just over 100 Houston businesses in four different categories – small, medium, large, and extra-large – as finalists.  Next Level Urgent Care was one of just nine finalists in the “extra-large companies” category and came in as the fifth-best place to work in the greater Houston area.

The award recognizes companies in the Houston area with the most satisfied employees, ranked by the results of Quantum Workplace competing employee surveys.

All employees at nominated companies were given the opportunity to take a confidential online survey, evaluating in the areas of goals and leadership, communication and support, advancement opportunity and skill development, recognition and compensation, tolerance and flexibility, and embracing innovation and ideas.

During the event, NLUC employees showed team support and cheered on winning organizations, snagging first place for a secondary Team Spirit Award.

According to founder and CEO Juliet Breeze, MD, the recognition captures the company spirit and collective drive of its dedicated team.

“When our employees vote us as a best place to work even with all the challenges we have faced as a healthcare organization during the pandemic, that is a real accomplishment.  Our team is truly committed to our patients and our community and that creates real job satisfaction,” said Breeze.

“Growing now to over 20 clinics, with an expanding network of programs, partners and providers, has been a direct result of the shared vision of our employees.  They are our greatest asset,” Breeze added.

Recently also adding the Better Business Bureau’s prestigious 2021 “Winner of Distinction” award to its list of recognitions, the organization shows no signs of slowing down.

Next Level Urgent Care (NLUC) provides extended hours, seven days a week to accommodate busy families and health needs outside of traditional office hours – with onsite diagnostic equipment and a broad range of primary care and urgent care services for all ages.

The organization remains in the forefront with COVID-19 research studies, new treatment options, “back to work” safety and health monitoring programs, and mental health services.
