Occupational Health Clinic
Work injuries, DOT physicals, and drug screens are a cash flow machine nobody brags about
Bottom line
Worth studying, but do not buy without strong local proof.
Occupational health clinics serve employers with work injury care, pre-employment physicals, DOT exams, drug testing, respirator clearance, and compliance paperwork. The boring magic is that employers buy speed, documentation, and predictable turnaround, not bedside manner. Demand is supported by OSHA, DOT, and workers' comp workflows that do not disappear in a downturn.

How It Works
Clinics contract with local employers and TPAs to handle injuries, screenings, drug tests, and return-to-work paperwork. Revenue comes from per-visit billing, employer accounts, and occupational testing programs. Strong operators win by having fast front-desk throughput, employer sales relationships, and extended hours for walk-in injuries.
