Comprehensive Occupational Health Services

Our clinic offers a full spectrum of occupational health services to meet the unique needs of employers across various industries. From pre-employment screenings to injury treatment and ongoing wellness programs, our goal is to keep your workforce healthy and productive.

Work-Related Injury Treatment

Accidents happen, but prompt and effective treatment can make all the difference. We specialize in treating non-life-threatening workplace injuries, including sprains, strains, cuts, burns, and fractures. Our first-aid-focused approach minimizes downtime while ensuring a safe and speedy recovery. With on-site X-ray and lab services, we can quickly diagnose and treat injuries, helping your employees return to work as soon as possible.

Pre-Employment, DOT, and Return-to-Work Physicals

Ensuring that employees are fit for their roles is essential for both safety and productivity. AFC Ballantyne provides thorough physical exams tailored to industry-specific requirements. Whether you need a standard pre-employment physical, a DOT-certified exam, or a return-to-work evaluation, our medical providers ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, and other regulatory bodies. Our goal is to identify potential health risks early, saving employers time and resources while protecting employees.

Drug and Alcohol Testing

Maintaining a drug-free workplace is vital for safety and compliance. We offer a range of drug and alcohol testing options, including:

  • Pre-employment screenings
  • Random drug testing programs
  • Post-accident testing
  • DOT-certified urinalysis and breath alcohol testing
  • Hair follicle and nicotine testing

Our testing services are designed for accuracy and efficiency, with rapid turnaround times to minimize workplace disruptions. Employers can rely on our expertise to maintain a safe and compliant work environment.

Vaccinations and Immunizations

Preventative care plays a significant role in reducing employee absenteeism due to illness. AFC provides a wide range of vaccinations and immunizations, including flu shots, tetanus boosters, Hepatitis A and B, and MMR vaccines. By offering workplace immunization programs or in-clinic vaccinations, we help employers protect their teams from preventable diseases and seasonal illnesses.

On-Site Health Services

For larger businesses looking to streamline employee healthcare, we offers on-site medical services. Instead of sending employees off-site for physicals, testing, or injury care, our medical providers can come to your workplace for added convenience. This reduces downtime, enhances efficiency, and ensures employees receive timely medical attention. Contact our Business Development Manager to learn more about customizing on-site services for your company.

  • OSHA-compliant medical exams
  • Respiratory and pulmonary function testing
  • Fitness-for-duty and hazmat physicals
  • Vision and hearing screenings
  • Lead testing and tuberculosis screening

We collaborate closely with government agencies to ensure employees meet the necessary health and safety requirements for their roles.

Ongoing Employee Health & Wellness Services

Supporting your employees’ health isn’t just about treating injuries,it’s about long-term wellness and preventative care. Our annual physicals and screenings help employers proactively address health risks before they become significant concerns.
