The Albany Area Chamber of Commerce announced a new member benefit that provides access to specialized occupational health and wellness services on-site at employer locations and at special Chamber member rates. The program, offered through a partnership with Phoebe Putney Health System and Phoebe Corporate Health, complements the Chamber’s other cost-saving member benefits.

“Health and wellness services are top-of-mind for employers,” said Bárbara Rivera Holmes, president and CEO of the Albany Area Chamber. “Our new member benefit allows employers to customize a health and wellness program that’s right for their work force, and have it delivered conveniently and affordably.”

Among other services, the occupational health and wellness program includes flu shots and immunizations; ergonomic assessments; drug screenings; and work site injury prevention education. In many cases, the Phoebe Corporate Health team will go on-site to deliver the services at employer locations, minimizing workflow disruptions and loss of productivity.

"Phoebe Corporate Health is excited to collaborate with the Albany Area Chamber and offer local employers access to occupational health services, in an accommodating and affordable manner, to meet their work force compliance needs, as well as enhancing the overall wellbeing of their work force,” said Will Peterson, vice president of operations at Phoebe, who oversees Phoebe Corporate Health.
