Work-Related Injury Care

Our facility is staffed by medical providers trained in diagnosing and treating work-related injuries and illnesses. Through a partnership with Memorial Health System, your employees will receive the best care available.

Return to Work

Our priority is to get your employees back to work in the shortest time possible. When an injury results in a physical restriction, our staff is skilled in motivating employees to return to the job quickly. The initial treating provider drives the cost of the claim by making return-to-work decisions and choosing providers who know how to best support injury treatment while incorporating a safe return to work.

Modified Duty

We rarely find it necessary to remove your employees from work. If an injury results in any restrictions, we’ll carefully explain those restrictions to the employee and then report them to you, the employer. Our medical providers and case management team will work with you to determine the ability of your employee to perform his/her job or modified tasks.

Referral Network

An injured employee occasionally may need more than primary care. When this happens, our network of referral specialists, including orthopedists, psychiatrists, ophthalmologists, surgeons, and therapists will work to your advantage. In most situations, our case management team can arrange immediate appointments with specialists.
