Optimum Coumputer Training Solutions
Verna Edwards, Owner/Operator

The Upper Coastal Plain Business Development Center (BDC) is pleased to welcome Verna Edwards, owner of  Optimum  Computer Training Solutions, as the newest client company of the small business incubator. Verna provides group and individual training on the latest PC software applications to include: Excel, Access,    PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Front Page, Publisher, Digital Photography, and other widely-used programs.  Since entering the BDC in December, Optimum Computer Training Solutions conducts day and evening classes in the facility and is    planning a weekend class to better accommodate client work     schedules.  Most clients are “non-traditional,” meaning they are    typically working full-time or operating a small business and are interested in sharpening their skills or brushing up on the latest software applications.  This short term computer training program also serves as a great tool for dislocated workers who need to retrain in new areas opening up alternative job opportunities.

 Optimum Computer Training Solutions also provides on-site training for a number of    corporate customers for workgroups and administrative staff to help them achieve greater efficiencies by understanding how to get the most out of the applications they use in the work place on a day-to-day basis. They learn many of the “nuances, tricks, and tips” that quickly improve proficiency. This training is a wise investment for employers, because improved computer skills result in higher productivity and reduced costs.

“The BDC is state of the art with LCD projectors, training room, broadband internet access, and networked computers. There is a receptionist available to me, conference room space, copy and fax machine, and all the necessaries needed for a start-up company. My lease is like no other. Greg Godard and the BDC is all about helping me develop a successful and profitable business.”  Verna Edwards.

Carolina Quick Care
Michael Feasel, MD, President

Carolina Quick Care, a provider of Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine services, has located their management offices in the Upper Coastal Plain Business Development Center on Nash Street in Wilson.  Carolina Quick Care opened its newest practice location in Wilson in May, 2009 which is conveniently located on Forest Hills Road in front of Lowe’s.

Carolina Quick Care provides acute management of minor medical illnesses and injuries in addition to a wide range of services for local and national Industrial Medicine clients.  The Urgent Care centers are open 7 days a week from 8 am-8 pm and feature on-site digital X-ray and laboratory services.  No appointment is necessary but patients may pre-register for an appointment using the new and exclusive ZipPASS internet pre-registration system found on their website: www.carolinaquickcare.com. Most people prefer to complete the ZipPASS online pre-registration form in the comfort of their own home, spending less time in the waiting room. The goal is to provide quality medical care while keeping visits as short as possible.

Carolina Quick Care receives management services from Medical Facilities, Inc. (MFI), also based in Wilson.  MFI also manages Carolina Quick Care practice locations in Rocky Mount and Roanoke Rapids.  The company has more than 50 employees system-wide, according to Michael Feasel, MD, FACEP, Company President and Chief Medical Officer and is anticipating regional growth and development.
