Occupational Medicine Specialist

What is occupational medicine?

Many job roles, organizations, or even entire sectors have state and federal health and safety regulations to ensure the well-being of the people working in them. Occupational medicine aims to reduce illness and injury in the workplace, treat any instances of either, and manage ongoing health issues related to work practices.

The providers at Stephen Renzi Medical PC offer occupational medicine services to organizations in and around Troy and Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.

What are the benefits of occupational medicine?

Occupational medicine positively supports both individuals and their employers alike. Its benefits include:

Reduces risk of injury

Preventive care measures like fit-for-work assessments, return-to-work assessments, and annual physicals help reduce the risk of severe injury or illness.

Better medical outcomes

People who receive immediate medical attention and comprehensive checkups following a workplace injury typically recover more successfully than those who don't. 

Builds trust

Employers that integrate occupational medicine into the workplace demonstrate that employee safety and well-being are a priority. This careful act makes employees feel more valued and so are more forthcoming if they do have any health concerns.

Improves workplace health

A safe workplace creates a more effective, productive environment and empowers team members to take control over their own health and wellness too.
