If the Carolinas were a separate economy, it would be the 16th largest in the world (Charlotte Chamber of Commerce Statistics). Charlotte, North Carolina houses the world headquarters of eight Fortune 500 companies, and since 1990, businesses have invested over $18 billion dollars and created more than 170,000 new jobs in the area.

Each job in this growing landscape of business represents an individual and an employee. With the population's makeup shifting from the Baby Boomers and the work force getting progressively older, attracting and retaining workers is the new challenge. In order to help contain operational costs and keep a competitive edge in the marketplace, employers are becoming more and more involved in their employee's primary care, and partnering with health providers that have the ability to care for the patient, as the company's health is essential to maintaining the health of their businesses.
Corporate Health providers offer a wide array of essential occupational services tailored to the specific needs of each business, whether large or small. While physician providers are most frequently tapped to provide care in workers' compensation injuries, Corporate Primary Care can also facilitate new hires and specific physicals, administer drug and alcohol testing services, as well as provide corporate safety and wellness training to employees.
Physical examinations have become a useful tool for many employers. Determining an employee's fitness based on various physical and physiological requirements can help an employer create a safe working environment. Diagnostic testing, such as Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) and EKGs may help identify indicators of occupational risks on the job-site. And promoting health and wellness through a competent provider, including cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, weight management and vaccinations can help to maintain a very healthy and happy workforce.
Keeping that workforce healthy and vital is where Internal Medicine Associates of Charlotte in North Carolina can help play a role with Corporate Charlotte. Whether a company has one employee or one thousand, building a relationship with a doctor you can trust to manage the health of a company's most valuable assets — your employees — is the head start that you need for the health of your company's bottom line.
