Occupational Nursing

Occupational nurses can play a key role in reducing healthcare costs through health screening and education programs, and by monitoring and managing chronic medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Our Carilion On-Site Nursing program offers employers across Virginia a complete array of occupational nursing services. Alternatively, we can staff your full-time occupational health program. Either way, we take care of everything so you don't have to.

If you opt for On-Site Nursing, we will work with you to design a program of services that best fits your company’s individual profile and requirements. Over time, through ongoing evaluations, we’ll make adjustments to your services based on your changing needs. Carilion On-Site Nursing can help your company achieve significant cost savings through: screening for early detection of illnesses; increased awareness and practice of healthy lifestyle choices to prevent or manage disease; education about work-related safety concerns for greater accident prevention; and on-site treatment of minor injuries to limit trips to the emergency room.
