Overview
Recognized as one of the most comprehensive programs for worker health and safety, Cascade Occupational Health serves more than 3,000 Lane County businesses with prompt, personal, and reliable service.
Occupational Health Services was created in 1980 by a partnership between Cascade Medical Associates and McKenzie-Willamette Hospital. Today, Occupational Health operates as the largest division of Cascade Health Solutions.
We promote employee health and safety through prevention, early intervention, return to work strategies and timely rehabilitation. Our greatest strengths are our staff expertise, innovation, commitment and customer orientation.
Our goals are to improve health and quality of life for workers, increase productivity, decrease absenteeism, and promote financial savings for businesses through a reduction in healthcare and workers' compensation costs.
