Work-related Injuries and Illnesses: The RedMed clinic provides treatment and case management for work-related injuries and illnesses. Employees who are injured at work should use the clinic as their first point of care unless the injury is life- or limb-threatening or occurs after RedMed Clinic hours, in which case the employee should be taken to the nearest emergency room. Additional information about work-related injuries and illnesses is available on the Benefits Department's Workers Compensation web page. Employees and their supervisors should complete a First Report of Injury form prior to visiting the clinic. For assistance in completing the form, contact the Benefits Department and speak to a Leave of Absence Representative.
