Occupational MedicineOccupational Therapy

All UTC locations offer occupational medicine services for employers and employees in the Lexington and central Kentucky area.

Our comprehensive approach and delivery of quality care for your employees puts UTC ahead in the healthcare market. At UTC, we focus on a balance of healthcare between the doctor, employee, and employer. It is our commitment to maintain regulatory compliance with all local, state, and federal guidelines by specifically tailoring all services and programs to meet the company's individual needs. UTC has been recognized by local employers forover 25 years as being the leader in occupational medicine. We assist employers everyday with challenges leading to reduced costs associated with work related injuries.

Our promise to our customers is to provide a successful occmed program by providing quality medical care and comprehensive communication, all while balancing patient and employer needs. Our services are provided at any of our 7 clinic locations. UTC makes it easy for your employees to "walk-in" and receive immediate attention, without long waits in the lobby. For those employees that need appointment based visits, UTC can also offer "appointment slots" or "blocks of time".

Because our commitment is to keep your employees healthy and working, our UTC Occupational Medicine Clinic, located at 100 Trade Street, is solely dedicated to occmed needs – no sick patients are treated at this clinic!

Starting in 2010, UTC will also offer divided waiting rooms and lobbies at some locations. This division allows separate waiting areas for "healthy patients". We have listened to our customer's wishes and they tell us that it is very important to keep their employees away from sick people.

Our Mobile Services division is a dedicated team of healthcare professionals that can deliver most services to the worksite, saving time and money!
