Mission Statement
Since 1969, Rocky Mount Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) has provided comprehensive employment training, business and health services that strengthen opportunities for people in communities we serve. As the only FQHC in Rocky Mount, we are committed to full life cycle primary care and wellness, behavioral health, pharmaceutical services, and care coordination services to high-risk families. Our model of integrated health care services, provided through our medical sites and Mobile Area Health Clinic, has been proven over time to be indicative of OIC’s motto: "Helping People Help Themselves." Rocky Mount is the urban center of the Twin County Region. Most of OIC's patients live in neighborhoods with dilapidated & substandard housing, have genetic predispositions to diabetes, hypertension/allied diseases, obesity and have limited access to enrichment opportunities. We have a special interest in under-resourced minority youth, young adults, and seniors, as well as our identified cohorts of chronic disease patients and at-risk students. Opportunities Industrialization Center, Inc. is a one stop-shop for job training, human resources and healthcare that has lived in the hearts of Rocky Mount Residents for fifty years. Founded as a grassroots training hub, OIC has grown from providing education services to fulfilling the health needs of our students and their families. Our roots are grounded in evidence-based approaches to bridging the gap between social inequities and better health outcomes. There is a need to address the systemic issues and multi-generational traumas that are impacting the hearts, homes, and health of the Twin Counties. Since purchasing our mobile health unit in 1995 and our first medical center in 2005, our response has been to target the neighborhoods that are most impacted, and to offer accessibility, business support and integrated health services, partnering with other human support agencies to bridge the gap for what services we do not provide. Our ability to offer a tremendous amount of little or no-cost services is unmatched and invaluable. Today, OIC operates two full time primary care sites, one part-time primary care site, a dental practice, two behavioral health specialty practices, an urgent care center and two pharmacies. In our endeavor to reach all individuals and families who have been impacted by systemic racism, entrenched poverty and a struggling, shifting rural economy, our goal is to help transform Eastern North Carolina by helping people, one household at a time, and take control of their own destiny with information, services, access, and encouragement. Mission We provide comprehensive employment, training, business, and health services that strengthen opportunities for people in the communities we serve. Vision Our dream for tomorrow is to be the premier agency in our community that helps people help themselves by providing human support services that enhance self-sufficiency. Values In everything that we do, we will act with compassion, professionalism, and determination to improve the quality of life for those we serve.
