Occupational Health Nursing

Evidence supports that implementing an occupational health nurse is not only good for employees, it is also great for creating the kind of company culture that attracts the very best employees¹. Choosing to add an occupational health nurse comes with a plethora of cost-saving benefits, such as conducting post-offer physicals and drug screens in-house as opposed to outsourcing.

Occupational health nurses build one-on-one relationships with your employees to create an environment of trust and respect. We can work closely with your employees to help them set and achieve their health goals. Whether they are interested in quitting smoking, losing weight, or educating themselves on lifestyle changes to prevent the need for medications, an occupational health nurse can provide the knowledge and support to help them be successful.

“Good health IS good business.”

–Paul Dreschler
