Occupational Health Services

AFC Urgent Care is your one-stop shop for all your occupational health needs. We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your employees healthy, productive, and compliant with regulations. Here’s a closer look at some of our key services:

Work-related injury treatment

From sprains and strains to cuts and burns, we provide immediate and effective care for all non-emergency work-related injuries. Our priority is getting your employees back to work promptly and safely. We specialize in first-aid treatment, minimizing downtime by restricting the affected area and allowing employers to make necessary modifications for a quick and smooth return to work. Whether you need X-ray services for the chest, lumbar, and other areas, or if you need lab services like a lipid panel or urinalysis, we’ve got you covered.

Pre-employment, DOT and return-to-work physicals

Whether you’re welcoming new hires or helping existing employees recover from work-related injuries, we offer a variety of physicals for your team. We ensure your employees are fit to work and can safely return to their duties after an injury with thorough, compliant physicals.

Our pre-employment and return-to-work physicals are designed to streamline the process of getting your employees healthy and ready to be a productive member of your team. We tailor exams to meet your industry’s specific requirements, allowing for quick identification of potential health concerns before they become workplace issues. This can save you time and money by catching issues early and ensuring compliance with OSHA and DOT regulations.

Drug and alcohol testing

We offer a variety of testing options to comply with all relevant regulations. Whether you’re onboarding new hires, conducting random testing, or managing post-accident situations, AFC Urgent Care offers a range of accurate and efficient drug and alcohol testing services. Choose from a variety of rapid and comprehensive alcohol, nicotine, and drug testing options, from basic 5-panel screens to DOT-certified urinalysis and hair testing.

Vaccinations and immunizations

Protecting your employees’ health starts with prevention, and we make it easy to keep your workforce immunized and safe. We offer a comprehensive range of vaccinations and immunizations, from flu shots and tetanus boosters to Hepatitis A and B series and MMR vaccines. Our convenient locations and flexible scheduling make it easy for your employees to stay up-to-date on their immunizations. Plus, our providers can answer any questions and address concerns, ensuring your employees feel confident and informed about their health.

On-site services

Skip the hassle of sending employees off-site for occupational health needs! For larger businesses, we can provide on-site medical services at your workplace for added convenience.
