Concentra Opens Facility for Manufacturing Workforce

Occupational health provider Concentra has opened a medical facility in Goodyear, Arizona, to serve the area's manufacturing workforce.

The centre will deliver occupational health services to employees in construction, distribution, warehousing, manufacturing, transportation and logistics.

"The West Valley continues to see significant growth across a range of industries, and access to occupational health services is an important part of supporting that workforce," says Dr Scott Cole, Senior Vice President of Medical Operations at Concentra.

Scott says the facility could reduce time away from work for employees requiring healthcare.

"This medical centre allows us to provide care closer to where employees live and work while helping employers address workplace health needs in a timely manner," he says.

Services for workplace health

The facility is located in one of the most active industrial regions in Arizona.

Services available to employers include:

• Work injury care
• Physical therapy
• Drug testing
• Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals
• Pre-placement exams
• Medical surveillance programmes

Employers can access Concentra HUB, a digital platform for injury management and communication. According to Concentra, the company is the largest provider of occupational health services in the US.
