Employer Health Services

CVHS offers comprehensive educational programs and screenings that heighten awareness of disease risk factors, provide important early detection services, and teach skills to help prevent and/or cope with illness and its effects on individuals and their loved ones. Programs are targeted toward specific health concerns and lifestyle choices, including nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress management. We also offer basic life support training (CPR), first aid training, heart profile screening (blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose), as well as height, weight and BMI screening onsite for your employees.

Through our onsite health centers, we partner with employers to provide a medical practice within the employer’s facility. Dedicating a medical provider to the employer helps keep employees healthier, more productive, and minimizes absences from work.
