What is Occupational Medicine Services?
Occupational Medicine is the practice of dealing with health conditions caused by the workplace environment. The focus is on preventing, evaluating, treating and resolving workplace health issues.
Purpose of Occupational Medicine Services
Occupational Medicine services serve employers and their employees. With on-site visits, staff are able to provide focused injury care that utilizes their knowledge of the working environment. A “back to work” philosophy seeks to minimize case length and reduce workers compensation expenses.
