Occupational Medicine

As part of our commitment to supporting the health and well-being of the families and communities we serve, Wedgewood also offers specialty care in the area of occupational medicine. This specialty deals with the prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries occurring at work or in specific occupations.

Wedgewood's Occupational Medicine Department works with individual companies to customize a program to fit the needs of their employees. We provide a wide range of medical expertise to help keep employees and their families healthy and productive. We emphasize preventive health, at home and on the job. It simply makes sense for employers to become involved in their employees’ healthcare.
This can help minimize more costly medical services for advanced health problems and workers compensation claims.
