 Wouldn’t
it be nice if you could design the occupational health services YOU needed?
Story County Medical Center knows that, as a company’s employee health representative,
you have a multitude of health care services that you need access to on a daily
basis. From pre-employment physicals to coordinating on-site First Aid training,
you are in charge of your employees’ health.
We also know that it is frustrating for you to make your employees wait for appointments,
not get test results back in a timely manner and to call a variety of organizations
to schedule the services you need. Recognizing these frustrations, Story County
Medical Center has created an occupational health service that is designed by YOU,
to fit YOUR needs.
We offer personalized care, timely appointments, quick results and a variety of
services so that you only have to call one place to fulfill all of your occupational
health needs. The services your company requires, whether it be health classes or
different drug tests, will be individualized to meet your needs.
