Q: When Can I Return to Work?

A: We believe that restoring an employee to full health and returning her/him to work in a timely manner are equally important aspects of treatment. In our early-return-to-work program, the physician and employer coordinate to determine appropriate job placement because resuming a functional role in the workplace not only improves the employee's morale; it also significantly reduces time loss.

Q: What About Physical Examinations?

A: Employee health evaluations can benefit both the employer and the employee. In addition to providing various health evaluations requested by individual companies, Occupational Medicine offers post-employment screenings, hazardous waste physicals, Department of Transportation (DOT) exams, respirator clearance, and executive physicals.

Q: Do You Offer Drug and Alcohol Testing?

A: Yes! It has been proven that comprehensive substance abuse testing programs reduce on-the-job injuries. To help businesses comply with state and federal regulations as well as their own workplace policies, our department can provide a variety of alcohol and drug tests. The result? A safer work environment for everyone.

Q: What Can I Do to Improve My Employee Health?

A: Exposure to blood borne pathogens can cause serious illness. It also may be devastating to a business. To help prevent and treat occupational disease, our staff conducts an annual prevention awareness-training program and immunizes employees for illnesses such as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, rubella, PPD, tetanus, and influenza.
