As part of Mid-Columbia Medical Center's Outpatients Clinic, our occupational
health experts have access to a wide variety of external resources and

training and experience in occupational medicine. We work as a team to
address occupational and environmental health and safety concerns including
prevention, assessment and treatment of on-the-job injuries, pre placement
physicals and testing, contracted employee health and DOT exams. Our physicians
manage and treat occupational injuries, illnesses and disability and offer
comprehensive and seamless care to clients by referring workers to other
