Occupational Health Services (OHS) offers employees a variety of services and health screenings without charge. OHS has Occupational Health Nurses trained to administer the services and screening programs listed below.

OHS is located on the first floor of the Rockefeller University Hospital, Room 118, and is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Walk-in Services are provided in the following areas:

• Ambulatory Clinical Care
• Hepatitis B Vaccination
• Influenza Immunization
• Occupational Health Programs
• Post-Employment Health Assessment
• Preventive Health Screening and Surveillance Programs
• Traveling Health Counseling
• Smoking Cessation

Throughout the fiscal year, OHS sends notices to the Rockefeller Community announcing screening and vaccination programs. Each announcement includes a description of the program, the vaccination or screening process, when it will be offered, and how to make an appointment. The typical screening programs offered are:

• Prostate Cancer Screening
• Breast Cancer Screening
• Skin Cancer Screening
• Cholesterol/Diabetes Screening

OHS provides health counseling and immunizations for international travel. Appointments for this service should be scheduled with OHS staff well in advance of departure.

OHS is also responsible for the medical processes required for Workers' Compensation and Short Term Disability. The sick leave policy requires employees to call OHS on each day of absence.

OHS offers employees a variety of services without charge; however, it is not intended, nor is it possible, that it substitute for a personal physician or a hospital clinic or emergency room. The nursing staff will offer basic medical advice or care when such treatment is necessary before the employee can obtain private medical attention. If you have an accident or become ill while at work, you must report to or notify OHS immediately.
