Injured Worker Care

 

 

Minor Illnesses and Injuries:

 

Minor work-related injuries and illnesses, and routinely treated acute work-related injuries on a walk-in basis such as minor lacerations (we do suturing), burns, strains and sprains requiring immediate attention, and foreign bodies in the eye.

 

 

Work-Related “911” Conditions which should be directed to the Emergency Dept:

 

  • All Electrical Injuries
  • Loss of Conciousness - for any reason
  • Falls - with neck or back pain requiring ambulance transportation
  • Lacerations - large/uncontrolled bleeding

 

Benefits of Non-Emergent Care through NOH

 

  • Employees can be seen faster than at the Emergency Room because your workers are our priority.
  • It is cheaper for you to send employees to NOH for care: NOH is at least 50% cheaper than the Emergency Department for non-emergent care.
  • Employees treated at NOH have significantly fewer lost time days than the state average. This means higher productivity for your organization and less overall workers’ compensation costs.
  • Our providers call you after each initial injury visit and after revisits when there is a significant change, to give you an update and the chance to ask questions. NOH focuses on early return to work for patients.
  • One-Stop-Shopping: NOH offers comprehensive occupational health services, locally owned and operated, in response to local employers’ request for these specialized services.

 

NOH provides cost-effective injury care and works directly with companies on an on-going basis to return employees back to work as safely and quickly as possible.
