What employers get
Week
If you run an HR or safety department, this should sound familiar
Occupational health shouldn't slow your operation down.
When a new hire can't start until they pass a pre-employment physical, every day of delay costs you money. When an injured employee can't get seen quickly, productivity and morale take a hit. Most occupational health setups weren't built with manufacturers in mind. Ours is.
Your new hire is ready to start Monday — but the clinic can't see them for two weeks. That's a real cost to your operation.
Sending employees 30+ minutes each way for routine screenings eats up half a workday — and frustrates everyone involved.
Large health systems route you through phone trees and rotating reps. You never speak to the same person twice.
Results, clearances, and reports take days to come back — leaving HR chasing forms instead of running the department.
A full suite of services
Everything your workforce needs, under one roof.
From the first day of hire to ongoing compliance, we handle the full spectrum of occupational health services manufacturers need — without sending your team across the county.
Certified medical examiners for FMCSA-compliant DOT physicals. Quick scheduling, fast turnaround, and clear documentation for your CDL drivers.
Get new hires cleared and on the floor faster. We customize physical exams to match your job descriptions and physical demand levels.
Pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing. Compliant, confidential, and quick — exactly what compliance programs require.
When an employee gets hurt on the job, prompt treatment matters. We provide acute care, follow-up visits, and return-to-work clearances with proper documentation.
OSHA-compliant audiometric testing for employees exposed to high-noise environments. Baseline and annual testing handled in-house.
Flu shots, Hepatitis B series, Tdap, and more. Protect your workforce and meet compliance requirements — we can even coordinate on-site clinics for larger groups.
We work directly with your workers' comp carrier, providing timely documentation, return-to-work clearances, and coordinated care to keep claims moving smoothly.
