What are On-Site Clinics?
On-site clinics are a convenient and cost-effective way for employees to access care. Onsite clinics can vary in terms of what services they offer. Some on-site clinics offer access to acute care or primary care. Acute care focuses on the short-term care for medical conditions, while primary care focuses on long-term relationships with patients. Onsite Health offers both acute and primary care. On-site clinics provide health and safety expertise for their patients. Some of the services our clinics provide include:
Screening
Screening of employees allows our on-site nurses to find the medical conditions or diseases at an early stage when the patient’s treatment is feasible, easy, and less expensive. A screening test can find any risk factors. In doing so, employees can make certain lifestyle changes to prevent developing diseases or disorders. For example, screening for a risk factor such as high blood pressure can lead to diseases such as heart disease or diabetes, but with early lifestyle changes, it can be preventable. Some common screening tests that are provided by on-site clinics include:
- Biometric
- Glucose
- Blood Pressure
- Vision Screenings

Vaccinations are essential for every employee. Preventing disease can be as simple as receiving a vaccine. Having an on-site clinics vaccinations program can decrease productivity losses and reduce health concerns within your company.

Having an on-site clinic at your workplace can help identify potential health complications, interventions for chronic illnesses, or underlying symptoms before the condition becomes more severe.
