Programs

Below are some key programs that work with Memorial Occupational Medical Services to achieve the goal of maintaining a healthy and productive work force:

Physical Therapy Center
Physical Therapy is a comprehensive physical therapy center specializing in treatment of orthopaedic and work-related injuries to the neck, back, and upper and lower body.

Physician Referral Services
Physician Referral Services are for those who need help in finding a qualified physician who will meet their needs and the needs of their family. For more information, please call 1-800-Memorial.

Advanced Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics within Long Beach Memorial Medical Center support in the detection and treatment of work-related injuries. Our imaging services include MRI, X-ray, CAT scan and ultrasound.

Modified Duty Wellness Program
If an injured employee is placed on Modified Duty with restrictions an employer cannot accommodate, Memorial Occupational Medical Services in conjunction with an Environmental Psychologist has designed a program to assist you.

Your employee reports to “work” at Memorial Occupational Medical Services for their eight hour work day instead of staying home risking a chance of exacerbating their injury. During their “shift” your employee is under constant supervision and will learn basic safety and prevention techniques, in addition to health, wellness, ergonomics, nutrition and a variety of other subjects.

Statistics show that an injured employee who is able to return to work costs a company an average of $700 but if that employee is taken off work the average claim costs increase to approximately $8,000. The costs savings alone is one reason why you would like to keep your employee productive. Being taken off work could also be detrimental to an employee’s self esteem as well as their physical well-being by becoming less active.
