INDUSTRIAL HEALTH Several years ago, we took on an ambitious challenge to work with area employers in controlling health costs. It has been slow but the successes are beginning to be realized. Our case manager has helped reduce unnecessary lost time. The Castleview Return to Work and Wellness Center is helping injured employees return to productive lifestyles as soon as is appro- priate. We also offer education to help employers such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, worker's compensation, healthy work places, back schools and much more. We see industrial health as a partnership among employers, employees and health care providers. Our goal is to cooperatively reduce unnecessary cost and suffering.

In fact, if you have been treated at Lake Powell in the past four years, it was by one of our skilled primary care professionals.

Especially, why would they choose activities which reduce health care costs? Our belief is that there are great changes ahead for health care. We can resist and be left out of the process. We can wait and take whatever the future provides. Or, we can be an active participant in the change. We have chosen the latter to assure that the most current services and care are available to you today and in the future. CASTLEVIEW HOSPITAL Qualify - c(o(m fa .Jllame nomic development.

At 37, hes put in enough years for retirement in any other capacity. But visiting with him, one can see how much he enjoys his work. It puts him at the center of much of what goes on in the community. There is little that happens Leonard doesnt know about. And there is little he doesnt become involved in. We go to as many activities as we can. We just like to be involved, he said. There are about 1,650 people in East Carbon and Sunnyside. Theyre good people, Leonard said. |
