Occupational Health is not a business cost. It’s the best invention for labor cost savings in 25 years! Skyrocketing health care costs continue to plague both small and large businesses. The national price tag for Worker’s Compensation has been increasing annually at the rate of 16%. Annual corporate yearly health care benefits are now averaging about $3,400 per employee per year, and this represents about a 20% increase over the last five years.

Due to these dramatic changes in the cost of delivering health care, employers are now beginning to recognize the importance of preventative health care and wellness.

In an effort to help businesses control these costs, Coastal Health Center has developed an Occupational Medicine Program. The goal of this program is to help employers decrease their health care costs while improving employee satisfaction and productivity.
