Open Forum: Exploring the Need for an Occupational Health Clinic in Redmond

We are inviting local employers and business leaders to participate in an open forum to discuss the potential establishment of an occupational health clinic in Redmond, Oregon.

With the upcoming closure of Summit’s occupational health services this October, many employers will face limited local options for occupational health care.  Access to these services plays a critical role in supporting employee health and safety, injury management, regulatory compliance, pre-employment screenings, drug testing, and return-to-work programs.

A healthcare provider currently serving AAON’s Tulsa, Oklahoma facility is evaluating feasibility of opening a dedicated occupational health clinic in Redmond.  As part of this assessment, the provider is seeking input from employers throughout Central Oregon to better understand the level of community demand and support.

Discussion Topics

We are seeking feedback on:

• Whether your organization currently utilizes occupational health clinic services
• The types of occupational health services most important to your business
• Your level of interest in supporting and utilizing a dedicated occupational health clinic in Redmond
• Any challenges your organization faces in accessing occupational health services today

Why Your Input Matters

At this stage, BASX is gathering information to determine whether sufficient interest exists within the Central Oregon business community to support further discussions with the provider.  Your feedback will help assess the viability of bringing these important services back to the region.

We Want to Hear From You

If your organization would be interested in utilizing a local occupational health clinic, please join the discussion and share your level of interest, anticipated needs, and any additional comments or considerations.

Together, we can help evaluate whether a local occupational health clinic would provide meaningful value to employers and employees across Central Oregon.
