Collins to open clinic for workers

September 30th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Care ATC

Rising health care costs have prompted a South Hutchinson business to offer an on-site health clinic for its employees.

Collins Bus Corp. will open the clinic Thursday — the first of its kind in Reno County — allowing their more than 250 employees to receive free medical care.

“By focusing on preventative care, it will help us control our health care cost in the future,” said Kent Tyler, president of Collins Bus. “It is an investment. It is costing us, but in the long term we hope we, as well as our employees, see the benefits.”

Care for illness is available at the clinic, but the focus will be on preventative medicine in the form of health assessments and screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and cancer.
