Preventive Health
Preventive Healthcare in Grand Junction, CO
Preventive health services – as opposed to diagnostic health services – are tests or treatments aimed at preventing injury or illness before they cause symptoms or physical problems.
According to recent studies, preventive health measures, such as screenings and vaccinations, can help prevent 85% of illness and disease. In fact, it is estimated that preventive services, including drug and alcohol abuse screening and tobacco cessation support, can potentially save millions of lives and nearly $4 billion annually.
What that means to a business is that workers who receive preventive care recommended for their age and gender may be able to address potential health issues sooner or avoid them all together, which can save money for the company’s health plan and its employees.
WorkPartners Occupational Health in Grand Junction, Colorado can save your company more money than other providers by promoting a preventive health care model that increases productivity rates and keeps your employer healthcare costs down.
That matters because, between workers’ compensation claims and the general cost of healthcare from frequent doctor visits, your company may be incurring more expenses than it can afford. Recurring injuries, for example, are often linked to improper body mechanics and posture, so if preventive measures aren’t taken to identify and fix these problems, they will only continue to harm your employees.
Our preventive services include:
- Physical examinations
- Pre-employment testing
- DOT physicals
- Ergonomics and injury prevention
- Functional capacity evaluations (FCEs)
- Drug and alcohol screening
- Respirator medical clearances
- Qualitative and quantitative respirator mask fittings
- Hearing and vision screening
- Pulmonary function testing
- Vaccinations / immunizations
- Occupational health consultations
With a preventive health model provided by WorkPartners Occupational Health, your employees may be injured less often, thereby staying on the job and out of the doctor’s office or hospital, which can translate into significant bottom-line savings and an increase in company productivity.
