Kadlec Regional Medical Center has formed a strategic alliance to bring the highest quality occupational healthcare services to the Tri-Cities and surrounding communities. The new service will be called WorkCARE at Kadlec and is located adjacent to the medical center at 945 Stevens Drive.

WorkCARE at Kadlec is led by Dr. James B. Johnson, MD, AOM. Dr. Johnson is board certified in Occupational Medicine and currently has offices in Kennewick, Wenatchee and an on-site facility at the Hanford Vitrification site. WorkCARE  is committed to providing services dedicated to excellent customer service and communication with the employer and employee.

As a large employer Kadlec understands the challenges employers face and as a provider the complexity and paperwork associated with occupational medicine. Our own needs led us to WorkCARE from which this affiliation was created. Kadlec will support WorkCARE with its world class highly regarded imaging and therapy services. Our emergency services will provide after hours and emergency services and utilize the services of WorkCARE at Kadlec for followup treatment. We are confident the coordination of services will expedite treatment and the employee’s safe return to work.

The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.  For more information, call (509) 943-5300, or visit their web site at www.workcare1.com.

WorkCARE at Kadlec also provides a 24-hour on call service for post accident, reasonable cause drug and alcohol screening.
