Abstract

Studies have shown that healthier employees prove to be more productive, have less work absences, and tend to stay with a company longer (Schultz and Edington, 2007). Larger corporations have implemented such work-site clinics for years. However, there is little research available for smaller companies. Nurse-led and pharmacist-led clinics in Europe have proven to have successful health outcomes (Briggs, Closs, Marczewski, & Barratt, 2008).Other such outreach clinics, such as pharmacist-led health clinics have become more widely accepted in the United States(Green, 2008). It was our aim to not only meet a great need for primary care services within our own practice, but in the community as well.
