Occupational Health Physician

Description

While we originally made our mark within the public sector, Valor has branched out and extended our offerings to the private sector through occupational clinics. Backed by partners like Stellantis, a leading global automaker, we assist employers with the work-related health needs of their employees.

Valor’s occupational clinics focus on the prevention and treatment of injuries or illnesses, ergonomic evaluations, holistic wellness, safety education and drug-free workplace programs that keep accidents down and employees healthy. For employees that have been injured, we work diligently to recuperate them back to health and productivity at work.

Hours: Monday and Wednesday 7:00am-4:00pm
