ARTICLE: Worksite Clinics Help Keep Employees Healthy, on the Job
Wed, 15 Oct 2014
As an employer, you know the benefits of a healthy workforce. So here’s the challenge: how do you keep your employees healthy and on the job, feeling 100%? And how do you do that without blowing your health care costs through the roof?
The solution: A health care clinic right in your workplace. Providing employees with immediate access to health care improves productivity, reduces absenteeism and lowers your health care costs.
With the convenience of a clinic at the workplace, employees take less time off for doctor’s appointments. They’re more likely to get an annual physical. And it’s convenient for them to get treatment for minor illnesses before those minor illnesses become more serious problems.
Launching a Johns Hopkins Employee Health and Wellness Center at your worksite sends a message to your employees that you want to be a partner in maintaining their good health. And by bringing to them one of the most highly regarded names in health care, you also are making a statement about what is truly important to you.
There are other advantages to having Johns Hopkins onsite clinics serving your employees:
- Johns Hopkins recruits, trains and monitors the clinic’s health care providers;
- Johns Hopkins staff manage the facility day-to-day, so you know your employees are continually getting high quality medical care;
- and Johns Hopkins regularly monitors and assesses your ROI—an important consideration when research has shown that for every dollar you spend on Johns Hopkins onsite clinical care, your health care costs drop by about a dollar and a half.

“Johns Hopkins has been providing onsite health care to large employers and governments for more than 20 years and currently operates more than 50 clinics in 24 states,” says Edward J. Bernacki, MD, MPH, director of the Division of Occupational & Environmental Medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine. “And through our experience we’ve learned this very important lesson: each company has its own set of health care needs and financial priorities. That’s why we customize clinics and their offerings so we are responsive to your health care challenges and goals.”
“Our goal is to improve the health of your most important asset by bringing to your worksite the highest standard of excellence in clinical care, value-driven employee engagement, and program management.”
