The Importance of Workplace Health

Workplace health is crucial for several reasons, from preventing injuries and illnesses to ensuring a productive workforce. A healthy workforce reduces absenteeism, minimizes the risks associated with workplace injuries, and improves overall employee well-being. Additionally, prioritizing employee health helps businesses remain compliant with workplace regulations and industry standards, reducing potential legal risks.

By partnering with AFC Northshore, businesses can provide their employees with access to quality, timely care, fostering a healthier environment that benefits both employers and employees.

Comprehensive Employer Health Services

We understand that managing the health and safety of your employees can be complex. That’s why we offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. From pre-employment screenings to workplace injury treatment, our goal is to help you maintain a healthy, productive workforce. Here are the key services we offer:

1. Work-Related Injury Treatment

In the event of a workplace injury, swift and effective treatment is critical. AFC Northshore provides immediate care for non-emergency injuries, including sprains, strains, cuts, burns, and fractures. Our board-certified medical providers assess and treat injuries efficiently, ensuring your employees receive the care they need to get back on track quickly. With on-site X-ray capabilities and lab testing, we can diagnose and treat injuries with minimal wait times, reducing downtime and allowing your team to return to work safely.

2. Pre-Employment and Return-to-Work Physicals

A healthy workforce starts with hiring the right people. We offer pre-employment physicals to assess the health of potential new hires, ensuring they are physically fit for the job. We also provide return-to-work physicals for employees returning after an injury, helping employers determine when it is safe for employees to resume their duties. Additionally, we offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals for commercial drivers to ensure compliance with federal regulations.

3. Drug and Alcohol Testing

Maintaining a drug-free workplace is essential for productivity and safety. Our clinic offers a variety of drug and alcohol testing services, including pre-employment, random, post-accident, and DOT-compliant screenings. Our rapid testing services include 5-panel and 10-panel drug tests, breath alcohol tests, and hair follicle testing. Reliable results are provided quickly, with minimal disruption to your operations.

4. Vaccinations and Immunizations

Prevention is key to maintaining a healthy workplace. AFC Northshore offers a variety of vaccinations and immunizations, including flu shots, tetanus boosters, hepatitis A and B vaccines, and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccines. Keeping your workforce up-to-date on immunizations reduces the spread of infectious diseases and minimizes absenteeism due to illness.

5. On-Site Health Services

For businesses looking to streamline their approach to employee health management, we offer on-site health services. Our team can provide pre-employment physicals, administer vaccinations, and treat workplace injuries directly at your location. This service reduces employee travel time and increases overall efficiency, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for larger organizations.

6. Annual Employee Physicals and Screenings

Routine health screenings are vital for early detection of potential health issues. At AFC, we offer comprehensive annual physicals and health screenings for employees. These exams include a thorough review of medical history, physical exams, vision and hearing tests, respiratory evaluations, EKGs, lipid panels, and more. Regular screenings help employees stay on top of their health and catch potential issues before they become more serious, ultimately promoting long-term wellness.
