BRENTWOOD,
Tenn., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Premise
Health, the leading direct health care provider for employers
and unions, was selected to receive the 2023 ABOHN Employer
Recognition Award from the American Board for Occupational
Health Nurses (ABOHN). The award recognizes organizations for
their commitment to the credentialing and continued support of
occupational health nurses through personal and professional
development.
"Our occupational health nurses and nurse
practitioners are subject matter experts that provide care for
organizations across multiple industries and workplace
environments. Certification in occupational health requires a
lengthy commitment to intensive study in all areas of our specialty
and we are very proud of our team members that have attained the
prestigious credentials of COHN, COHN-S, and COHN-S/CM," said
Lara Spalding, occupational health
lead, Premise. "We believe it's important to go the extra mile in
supporting our occupational health teams so they are up to date on
industry standards and best practices while working side-by-side
with our members."
Premise provides proprietary occupational health
training and resources for nurses seeking certification, including
mentorship programs, educational materials, team member resource
groups, and financial support. With the addition of ten newly
certified team members in 2023, over 60 Premise nurses and nurse
practitioners are certified by the ABOHN.

occupational health programs for large organizations across the
country by providing unique and customizable solutions that

programs for injury and illness care, medical surveillance, case
management, physical and occupational therapy, and ergonomic

"Our industry traces its beginnings to
occupational health, and that is certainly true of Premise," said
Stu Clark, chief executive officer,
Premise. "It's core to our DNA - the ability to understand the work
environment, have a deep knowledge of state and federal
regulations, provide specific care for work related injuries and
illnesses, and prioritize collaboration with employer health and
safety professionals to create a safe workplace."
He added, "It's an honor for our occupational
health teams to receive recognition for their industry leading
expertise. They work tirelessly to support our mission, keep
workers on the job longer, and help them retire healthier."
