Injured Worker Care
On-the-job injuries can lead to a bumpy road for employees returning to working and paperwork frustrations for employers. Group Health's Occupational Health Services Department offers a solution that supports employers and employees when there is an accident or work-related illness. Regardless of company size, the focus is on injured worker care and health and safety needs in the workplace.

Occupational Medicine Departments
Occupational health facilities can be found in over 20 Group Health medical centers statewide, half of which are staffed by board certified occupational medicine providers. In addition, each medical center is staffed with a worker's compensation case manager (WCCM). These master's level professionals coordinate care and communication between the employer, claims manager, employee, and physician.
