Occupational Health

Developing an Occupational Health program was important to Sanford Sheldon Medical Center as we looked for ways to support the health and well-being of the workforce.

The goals of Occupational Health are:

1. to provide occupational/industrial health and wellness education to area businesses
2. to provide occupational/industrial health and wellness consultation services to area businesses
3. to provide area businesses with prompt, convenient, and professional occupational health related services appropriate to their needs

Most businesses know that the health and safety of their employees is important to productivity, the number of hours lost to injuries and illnesses, and workers’ compensation costs. Our goal is to help businesses increase productivity, decrease the number of hours lost to injuries and illnesses, and to decrease workers’ compensation costs while continuing to support the business' goal of providing the best possible care for their employees.

Sanford Sheldon Medical Center's Occupational Health program assures adherence to OSHA, Federal DOT, ADA, EEOC, and Workers’ Compensation regulations, standards, and laws. The services offered are structured according to the individual business’ needs.

In order to meet employees’ health and wellness needs, several Sanford Sheldon Medical Center's healthcare service areas and professional staff may be utilized, such as, the Medical Staff, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Laboratory, Radiology, Dietary, Pharmacy, and Outpatient Clinic.

We are pleased to offer this service to area businesses and the community. The specialized services of Occupational Health can benefit business and employees. If you have any questions about the programs or services or about any occupational and wellness issues contact us today.
