Affiliated with Central Baptist Hospital

BaptistWorx^SM is the premier occupational health and wellness clinic for work-related injury treatment in Lexington, Kentucky.

We were developed with one specific goal: to assist area employers in decreasing their workers' compensation costs by:

• tailoring an occupational health, wellness and educational program to fit your company's needs; and
• providing employees with comprehensive, high quality occupational health services in a timely, cost-efficient manner.

Services

24-Hour Workers Compensation Injury Care
At BaptistWorx, we provide comprehensive, quality care to injured workers in an effort to return them to the workplace. Our work injury clinic offers a low-cost alternative for non-emergency work injury treatment and follow-up care. 

Our work injury clinic is staffed full time by a physician and other healthcare professionals experienced in treating occupational injuries. After hours and on weekends, treatment is provided by the Emergency Department at Central Baptist Hospital. The full resources of a major regional medical center are always available to you and your employees for optimal healthcare service.

Prompt Communication
BaptistWorx will notify you, the employer, both by phone and by written communication after each employee visit. You will always know the status and progress of each injured worker.

Medical Surveillance
Our medical surveillance and screening programs can help your company evaluate the health of employees and improve the overall safety of the worksite. BaptistWorx can help you design a program that fits your specific needs. Medical surveillance services can include:

• Drug Screening (DOT and Non-DOT)
• Pulmonary Function Testing
• Breath Alcohol Testing
• X-ray
• Hearing Conservation
• Blood Lead Level
• Body Fat Analysis
• Random Drug Screening

All test results include professional interpretation and specification to job applications.

Physical Evaluations
Custom physical evaluation programs can help your company save money, assess risk and avoid problems before they occur. BaptistWorx physicians are qualified to perform all types of job-specific physicals, including:

• DOT Physicals
• Executive Physicals
• Non-DOT Physicals
• Pre-Employment Physicals

Physical Therapy and Work Hardening
For workers with certain types of injuries or chronic disorders, access to appropriate physical therapy and rehabilitation can be the difference between a speedy transition back to work or months -- even years -- of unproductive convalescence. Recovery time can further be reduced by participation in a job-specific physical therapy regimen, professionally designed to reinforce physical skills associated with particular job responsibilities.

As part of our continuum of care, BaptistWorx offers an industrial rehabilitation and physical therapy clinic where injured workers can come to reacquire the proficiency, strength, flexibility and dexterity needed to ply their trades. Treatment focuses on education, rehabilitation, management of symptoms and future prevention. Customized physical therapy programs can include:

• Post-injury rehabilitation
• Educational programs
• Work hardening programs
• User-friendly workplace design
• Physical demand screens, a job-specific screening to determine an employee's physical ability to perform a job
• Fit-for-duty screens
• Functional capacity evaluations
• Injury prevention education
• Post-offer screenings*, which can include a back assessment or a general evaluation of the individual's musculoskeletal status.
  *Legally, a post-offer screening cannot be used to terminate employment.

Employee Assistance Programs
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are available for maintaining a healthy overall work environment. Each one of these programs is confidential. BaptistWorx will provide a direct referral into a network of employee assistance professionals.

Immunization Program
Healthy employees can begin with a simple immunization. Immunizations can be offered to meet regulations or your company's needs and may include:

• Flu shots
• Hepatitis B vaccination
• TB skin test
• Tetanus shots
