What Is an Occupational Health Nurse?
Occupational health nursing is a specialty practice that delivers health, safety and wellness services to onsite workers. An occupational health nurse is a trained, registered nurse who specifically focuses on employee health, worksite injury treatment and protecting workers from hazards.
Medcor’s occupational health nurses help you take better care of your most important investment — your employees.
