Group Health staffs its occupational health services with board-certified occupational medicine providers who are expert at treating work-related injuries and providing employment-related health, safety, and wellness services. We can tailor our services to meet the specific needs of the employer.

You do not have to be a Group Health member to receive treatment in the clinics. Our services are paid for by employers, workers' compensation carriers, or both, so we can offer our expertise to all employees in Washington state.

We have nine occupational-health specialty centers and nine primary care centers. There are workers' compensation case managers at each center.

Opening Fall 2008: This fall, two new occupational health clinics will open at Burien Medical Center and Renton Medical Center.

Injured Worker Care
On-the-job injuries can create hardships for employees returning to work and paperwork frustrations for employers. Occupational Health & Safety Services supports employees and employers, helping employees get the care they need and helping employers through the maze of paperwork.

Services for Employers
Preventing an injury is certainly better than fixing one. In addition to hands-on management and board-certified physicians, we offer expanded services that help keep employees in good health and companies productive, including:
Physicals and drug screening
DOT/CDL exams
FAA and LEOFF exams
Audiometry screening
Spirometry screening
Immunizations and flu shots
Injury prevention and education
Worksite Wellness Screenings

Communication and Return-to-Work Procedures
Our knowledgeable business office staff, registered nurses, workers' compensation case managers, and physicians are here to support employers and employees.

After each visit, when we recommend time loss or transitional duty (modified or light work) for return-to-work, employers will receive one or both of these forms:
Physician Estimate of Physical Capacities (PDF)
Activity Prescription and Work Status (PDF)

For assistance in developing transitional work solutions based upon our recommendations, an employer will receive the following forms:
