Background
On July 13, 2016, Loyola Occupational Health Services (Loyola) informed the Village they would no longer provide occupational health services as the hospital system was closing this book of business.
On August 1, 2016, the Human Resources Department posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Occupational Health. The RFP had one response: U.S. Healthworks Medical Group of Illinois, P.C. (“U.S. Healthworks”).
An evaluation team which included Public Works Director, Fire Chief, Workers’ Compensation Coordinator, and Human Resources staff reviewed the RFP response and toured the facility, located at 2615 W. Harrison in Bellwood. The tour included a review of protocols, treatment rooms, physical therapy space, and a general meeting with medical providers. All found the location, workflow, and communication processes to meet their needs.
In 2018, Concentra Group Holdings, LLC (“Concentra”) acquired U.S. HealthWorks, Inc (“U.S. HealthWorks”). The Village has received high-quality and responsive occupational health services from Concentra through 2019, 2020, and 2021.
