Why OEHC?
Individuals come to OEHC because they believe their medical problem is related to their work, or in some cases, the environment. They come to us from a wide variety of sources:

• Referral from primary care physician/specialist
• Referral from union
• Referral from employer
• Referral from Workers' Compensation attorney
• Heard about us from co-worker or friend
• Attended a workshop or meeting
• Found us in the yellow pages or on the Internet

We do not take the place of the primary care physician, and follow the patient only for those medical problems diagnosed by the occupational clinic physician.
