The Cook Family Health Center (CFHC) was established in July 1993 for the benefit of the Cook companies’ employees, spouses and dependents living within thirty-five miles of Bloomington. Originally located just west of Bloomington Hospital, the facility was created to: -Provide Cook employees and their families with better and easier access to primary medical care -Better coordinate and manage our patients’ care, ultimately leading to healthier patients -Control inflationary healthcare spending With extended hours and ample physician staffing, CFHC patients can receive care at the center six days a week, with or without appointments. Because we have an established team of primary care physicians focusing on only our employees, our patients don’t get passed around from doctor to doctor or “lost” in the complex healthcare system. Finally, by better managing patients’ care and minimizing unnecessary care, the facility can lead to an overall decrease in healthcare spending, which is ultimately to everybody’s benefit. In 1997, the health center moved to its current location on the northeast corner of Eighth and Rogers Street, just west of downtown Bloomington and the Showers Building complex. Having outgrown its original site, the center and pharmacy can now be found in a newly renovated 8,000 square-foot facility that is arguably the finest primary care office in Monroe County.
