As part of Mid-Columbia Medical Center's Outpatients Clinic, our occupational health experts have access to a wide variety of external resources and medical consultants. Our physicians are board-certified and have extensive 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 services within and outside of MCMC such as physical medicine and rehab, orthopedics, neurology, general surgery, neurosurgery and others.
