What is occupational medicine?

Occupational medicine focuses on the treatment and prevention of workplace injuries. Doctors who practice occupational medicine can specialize in a wide range of things from orthopedics to psychiatry and often work with employers, insurance companies and other organizations to assist injured employees with worker’s compensation claims.

Prioritizing workplace health and safety

Healthy employees are the foundation of a healthy business. With this in mind, our experienced occupational and environmental medicine specialists are dedicated to helping you maintain a safe and compliant workplace.

We’re your partner in injury prevention, proactive health measures and quality care when workplace injuries happen. We offer ongoing consultation and a wide range of services to give you peace of mind about the health and productivity of your workforce. Some of the ways we can help include workplace evaluations, employee health assessments, quality medical care for injured employees and assistance as they return to work.

With more than 40 years of experience in the industry, we see firsthand how prioritizing employee well-being can benefit both the employees and the productivity of a business. With our clinic locations and on-site services, you and your employees always have our support.
