Woodlawn Health launched their Occupational Health Program this week.

This program, housed in the Shafer Building on Woodlawn Health’s campus in Rochester, offers a nurse practitioner to evaluate work-related injuries and do employee physicals. They will also offer same-day appointments, drug screenings, and CDL physical evaluations.

“We are thrilled to offer this to the business community and our wellness services. We know a healthy workforce makes Fulton and surrounding counties thriving areas,” Brad Rogers, COO of Woodlawn Health, stated.

The benefits of the program for employers will have a broad impact, as stated by Jillian Smith, Executive Director at the Fulton County Chamber of Commerce, “We are thrilled that Woodlawn Health’s new Occupational Health Program will offer Fulton County and surrounding area businesses the opportunity to conduct employee drug screenings and physicals locally. Employers can reduce response and travel time by keeping employees in the county for treatment, ultimately decreasing costs and increasing productivity."

"The Chamber recognizes that Woodlawn Health continually evaluates the local community’s needs and invests in programs to fulfill those needs, such as this new occupational health facility. The Chamber appreciates Woodlawn’s continued commitment to Fulton County.”

The clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. Employers interested in utilizing services should call 574-223-9525.
