Staff recommends Northwestern Medicine Occupational Health and Physicians Immediate Care to provide Occupational Health Services including, but not limited to, pre-employment exams, initial treatment of occupational injuries, return to work medical exams, and drug and alcohol testing program screening collection. Having two Occupational Health facilities provides the Village resources that are needed during peak hiring times and compliments the hours and strengths of each facility.
