Fight Healthcare Costs:
Employers, buckle your seatbelts.
The Healthcare Finance Administration predicts that
healthcare spending in the United States will double to
$2.1 trillion by 2007. American companies will foot much
of that bill.
But Emanuel Medical Center’s
Occupational Health Program offers preventative
services, clinical care, and psychological counseling to
protect and promote the health of your employees and
help you contain costs.
We will even design a customized
occupational health program to fit your individual
needs, and we will enroll in your provider network. That
way, your employees can take advantage of preferred
pricing from board-certified physician’s right in their
own community.
Employee Physicals, Preventive Care and Workers’
Compensation:
Our physicians will help you
develop and maintain a healthy workforce. They will
perform pre-employment physicals, then monitor your
workers through annual physical exams designed to detect
diseases in the early stages. Early diagnosis allows you
to manage care, ensure better outcomes for patients, and
prevent catastrophic claims. What’s more, we’ll help
keep your employee healthy by providing vaccines, flu
shots, screenings, and other services at your site.
Should accidents occur, our professionals will treat
your injured workers promptly and effectively, reducing
lost time and Workers’ Compensation expenses. Our
board-certified physicians deliver round-the-clock care.
They are supported by an ambulance service, an emergency
department staffed by experienced physicians and a
24-hour laboratory, pharmacy, radiology, and
cardiopulmonary services department.
Psychological Counseling:
Stress and emotional problems can
lower your employees’ productivity, make them more
accident-prone, and affect their health. But our
confidential and affordable Employee Assistance Program
(EAP) encourages your employees to work through the
issues that trouble them. For a flat monthly fee, you
can give your employees access to licensed counselors
who will foster their emotional well-being.
Educational Programs:
Smoking, excessive use of alcohol,
poor eating habits, and lack of exercise cost employers
millions of dollars every year. Emanuel Medical Center’s
wellness programs will teach your employees the
importance of good health habits and encourage them to
make lifestyle changes that will reduce your healthcare
spending. Topics include:
▪ Back safety and lifting
techniques
▪ Blood-borne pathogens
▪ Diabetes education
▪ Exercise programs
▪ Eye Safety
▪ First aid and CPR
▪ Nutrition counseling
▪ Smoking-cessation programs
▪ Weight reduction
▪ Other topics
Do the Right Thing:
Taking care of the people who work
for you is not only the right thing to do; it’s smart
business. Studies show that occupational health programs
let companies detect their employee’s health problems
early, when they’re easier to treat. They also decrease
absenteeism, lower turnover, increase productivity, and
improve morale.
