Occupational medicine

Expert care for workplace injuries or employee screening/testing, including pre-placement exams

We spend a lot of time at work—up to one-third of our lives—so it shouldn’t be surprising that our work directly impacts our health. Both the work environment and physical demands can create health-related concerns or injury.

Occupational medicine focuses on health concerns or injuries related to or caused by our work environment or job. Occupational medicine also provides employers with pre-employment screening/testing services (including pre-placement exams) and workplace wellness programs.
