Managing Health Care Needs for our Corporate Client Community since 1992.
ValleyCare Occupational Services specializes in the treatment and management of work-related illness and injury with prompt, high-quality, cost-effective care. Our staff of professionals is committed to promoting the health and wellness of your employees while offering a full range of services. We can customize a program to meet your employees' health care needs.
At ValleyCare, we understand the needs of an employer in all aspects of occupational medicine. Our No. 1 client is the ValleyCare Health System, with over 1,400 employees. We have been able to provide a safe environment and manage injuries to the extent that we have had a decrease in workers' compensation claims for the past 10 years.
Our program is headed by Medical Director Robert Santos, MD, who has many years of experience in the care of industrial injuries, prevention and education. Our nursing staff is certified in drug screening, breath alcohol testing, audiometry and pulmonary function testing.
We are affiliated with most medical provider networks in California and can help you work through the authorization process. We are continually educating our staff to maintain a current knowledge of all regulatory requirements.
