Occupational health services can benefit both employer and employee

Traditionally, occupational health services were focused on helping employers protect their employees from injury and illness.  These services could include basic laboratory testing and screening, all the way up to diagnosis and treatment.  Today, many employers are realizing the benefit of adding health promotion activities to their occupational health services.  These are the activities which help maintain or improve the personal health of a workforce and can range from risk assessment to immunizations and wellness initiatives. 

Integration of both health promotion and safety into occupational health services helps everyone

It does not matter what size the company or organization, any business can integrate their health promotion, environmental and safety programs.   There is a range of activities which can be implemented including worker health status, early recognition and treatment of illness or injury, addressing personal health risks, and creating a culture of health and safety.  The occupational health services provided by Medical Access in partnership with Germantown Primary Care Associates in Germantown, Maryland helps employers provide the best of these two health initiatives.
