Industrial Health
Our Industrial Health Division assists employers in meeting the challenge of reducing health care costs through the promotion of wellness in the workplace. Equally as important, we aid in maximizing the potential of the company's most valuable asset—its employees!
The Industrial Health Division of Athens Associates in Family Practice is proud to announce that we are expanding our services to better meet the growing demands of our customers. With the recent hiring of our new medical director Dr. Vint Wilson, who has years of experience in industrial medicine, we are renewing our commitment to being the leading provider of industrial services in the greater Athens area. From DOT multi-panel drug screens to Iso-Kentic Back Testing, we are able to provide a full range of service to help you qualify employees for work quickly and accurately.
Our certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) can provide direct interpretation, explanation, and counseling to you and your employees for all drug-testing services. We offer a wide range of physical examinations, substance abuse tests, physical capacity tests, and X-Ray services.
