The Lee County Chamber of Commerce is the latest chamber organization in southwest Georgia to partner with Phoebe to offer onsite occupational employee health and wellness services to its members at discounted prices.  Phoebe Corporate Health is now working with seven area chambers and continues outreach efforts to extend the program to more counties in the region.

“This is an outstanding, automatic benefit for all members of our partner chambers.  The services we provide help employers meet their compliance needs, increase efficiency and improve the overall wellbeing of their workforces, and they can take advantage of discounted and bundled pricing that makes these services very affordable,” said Will Peterson, Phoebe Vice President of Operations.

Phoebe Corporate Health currently partners with the following chambers:

·         Albany Area Chamber of Commerce

·         Ashburn – Turner County Chamber of Commerce

·         Camilla Chamber of Commerce

·         Lee County Chamber of Commerce

·         Sumter County Chamber of Commerce

·         Sylvester – Worth County Chamber of Commerce

·         Terrell County Chamber of Commerce

Members of those chambers have access to numerous services provided at the member businesses by Phoebe Corporate Health.  “The partnership is a great recruiting tool for those chambers.  It’s a tangible example of the benefits that come with being a chamber member,” Peterson said.

Occupational services available through the program include physical exams, drug screens and random drug screening programs.  Wellness services include vaccinations, biometric screenings, worksite injury prevention programs and wellness coaching.  Other services include CPR and first aid training, wellness education, emotional counseling and financial wellness classes.

“We provide a service model that not only offers traditional occupational health services, but additional health and wellness services that can be tailored to meet an individual business’s needs.  We make it easy for businesses to take advantage of the program, and we deliver services in a manner that minimizes disruptions to their operations and positively impacts their operational costs,” Peterson said.
