First Care understands that many workers don’t have the time, resources, or availability to take time off work to go to a primary care physician during normal business hours. That is why First Care offers occupational medical services that you can get at any time, perfect for both you and your employer. Don’t wait to get those necessary services completed; here are 5 occupational medical services you can receive at First Care.
Physicals
Have you just been offered a new job? It may be necessary for you to receive a pre-placement evaluation before you are allowed to begin. First Care provides these tests along with a variety of physicals that may be required. They offer hazmat, dive, merchant mariner, DOT/CDL, as well as customized physicals. You are also able to receive your annual health evaluation here instead of having to go to your primary care physician.
Hearing and Vision
In many jobs, hearing and vision screenings are essential to the safety of the job. However, it can be annoying and time-consuming to create separate appointments with audiologists and ophthalmologists. Instead, you can go to First Care where you can get both hearing and vision screenings and testing done quickly and efficiently.
Drug and Alcohol
Many companies have mandatory drug and alcohol testing to ensure the safety of their workers and their workplace. Employers can forget those over the counter tests and no longer have to coordinate primary care doctor appointments; instead, they can simply use First Care. First Care offers employers and employees drug and alcohol screenings, including DOT/non-DOT and rapid drug testing.
On-the-Job Injuries
Accidents can happen on the job. If it is a life-threatening emergency, the worker must be taken to the Emergency Room. If the injury is not severe, the worker can choose to go to First Care rather than the hospital or doctor’s office. Also, if the worker notices an injury that happened on the job site but was not treated, they can go to First Care after regular business hours to get it checked out.
Treatment Plans
When accidents happen, it is crucial to get an employee back on the job as quickly as possible while ensuring that they are pursuing their optimal health. First Care pairs with worker’s compensation treatment plans as well as light-duty programs to get an employee back on their feet and in good health before returning to the job.
The health and safety of workers and the job site are essential to every employer and employee. That is why First Care is such an excellent option over the hospital and primary care appointments. Services are provided quickly, efficiently, and with a flexible schedule. Never worry about physicals, screenings, testing, minor injuries, or treatment plans again, because First Care has got you covered.
