Fort Bend County to open employee medical clinic;
The new facility will serve employees, dependents and retirees

FORT BEND COUNTY, TEXAS— Fort Bend County today announced it will open a new employee health and wellness center. The new center will be operated by Concentra, and offer primary, preventive, and wellness services exclusively to county employees, their dependents, and retirees.  The new employee medical clinic is slated to open next year, delivering a range of health and wellness services direct to employees. The center will feature approximately 4,000 square feet of space, complete with exam rooms, a nurse’s intake station, and collection lab. Primary, urgent, preventive and wellness care services will be available at the health and wellness center, in addition to health risk assessments and health screenings. Services provided through the clinic will be free to all county health insurance plan members.

“Fort Bend County is committed to improving the health and well being of its employees by providing high quality and convenient access to medical services,” said Judge Bob Hebert. “By establishing an on-site health care clinic that is centralized and geared toward providing comprehensive medical services, we hope to positively affect the overall wellness and productivity of our workforce.”  The center will be staffed by Concentra, with one overseeing physician, a physician assistant, and two medical assistants. Employees will have access to full-service health and wellness offerings with the ease and convenience of services managed through the new center. The clinic will support the county’s long-term goals to improve access to quality health services, reduce overall health care spending, and promote a culture of health and wellness. 

“We want to revolutionize employer health and wellness programs, delivering comprehensive medical services directly to employees when and where they need them,” said President of Concentra Health Solutions Mike McCollum. “We are pleased to be part of an innovative health care program that works to improve the health and well-being of employees.” Counties continue to face rising health care costs, while the level of coverage available for employees diminishes. This trend is a driving force behind the need for improved health care systems in the nation.
