Occupational Health

Since 1981, Patient First physicians and support staff have been providing occupational medicine services for employers and employees. At Patient First, our occupational health mission is to provide convenient, efficient medical services that help keep employees healthy and lower health care premiums. When treating work-related injuries, careful attention is paid to employers’ return to work protocols to ensure a safe return to work. 

Our conveniently located medical centers are open every day of the year from 8 am to 8 pm and offer prompt occupational medical review and care, with no appointment necessary. Our on-site lab tests, x-rays, and prescription drugs help save employees’ time, reduce productivity losses, and lower costs for both the employer and the insurer by as much as two-thirds.
