\u201cVan Wert County supports a thriving manufacturing community along with several large employers.\u00a0 We\u2019re proud that we are able to establish the Van Wert County Hospital Occupational Health Clinic so that local businesses can focus on keeping the local workforce healthy and productive,\u201d said hospital CEO Jim Pope.<\/p>\n

The clinic provides a full spectrum of occupational medicine services to help companies ensure their workers remain healthy. Additional services at the clinic include drug and alcohol testing, treatment of injured workers, ergonomic\/safety initiatives, and wellness programs. Because the clinic is part of Van Wert County Hospital, patients can easily be referred for additional specialized services that the hospital offers, such as CT scans, MRIs, or physical therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe developed the Occupational Health Clinic to help employers keep their employees healthy and on-the-job, which ultimately reduces the costs associated from injured workers,\u201d said Dr. Wray, who supervises the clinic. \u201cWe can even offer patients same day appointments for acute injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Businesses and community members are encouraged to attend a grand opening event at the clinic from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, January 24, for a tour of the new clinic and to see how the staff of the Occupational Health Clinic can help local businesses.<\/p>\n
