Business leaders in Fulton, Montgomery and Hamilton counties understand that to remain competitive in the regional, national or global marketplace their companies must attend to health care costs as they do to the other costs of doing business. Loss of employee productivity as a result of accident, illness or stress affects the bottom line as surely as rising health insurance premiums. The Littauer Occupational Alliance (LOA) can assist your business in gaining control over these lost productivity costs and build a stronger, healthier work force.
Since 1994, The Littauer Occupational Alliance has been working with area businesses, helping contain their accelerating health care costs by providing treatment and follow-up of work-related injuries, pre-placement physicals, drug testing and wellness and injury prevention information.
