About REOH
Occupational and environmental medicine focuses on the interactions between work, health, and the environment. Doctors who specialize in this field prevent, evaluate, and manage adverse health effects from work and environmental hazards. Individuals can be exposed to chemicals, sources of traumatic injury, occupational diseases, and hazardous physical agents in their jobs or daily lives. Any of these exposures can cause injury or disease, which can occur immediately or after years or decades. Understanding these issues and their effects constitutes the core of occupational medicine.
MISSION: To provide evidence-based medical reviews of injuries and illnesses
VISION: To promote fairness for those affected by injury and illness.
