Onsite health clinics in the workplace are not a new concept, but they are definitely growing in popularity. Cost is the primary factor, but millennials in particular love the convenience and time saved when seeing a doctor onsite.

On-site clinics are particularly beneficial for decreasing the number of off-site, health-related, patient care visits.

Company doctoring: More employers offer on-site clinics

They say the on-site centers reduce the amount of time workers spend away from work visiting off-site healthcare providers. In addition, the centers can help companies identify occupational health and safety risks, such as poorly designed workstations that result in back and neck problems.
