Staff/faculty will be given the option of attending an OIS clinic or other medical care if needed</p> <p>If you experience a work related injury or illness, follow the incident/accident reporting process as usual. Report any work related injuries or illnesses to your direct supervisor, and complete the online campus incident/accident report form: <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/hum/archives/riskandsafetyservices/Services/report_form.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.uleth.ca/hum/archives/riskandsafetyservices/Services/report_form.html</a></p> <p>If you require first aid, contact Security Services at 2345 or other appropriate responder in your area. If you require medical treatment, contact the wellness co-ordinator at 403-332-5217 and the OIS clinic of your choice will be contacted for an appointment (same day in most cases).</p> <p>The OIS clinics are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.</p> <p>If your injury occurs outside of these hours, you would need to access medical services through a walk-in clinic or emergency services at the hospital.<br> There are currently two service providers for OIS in Lethbridge:</p> <p>&bull; CBI Health &ndash; Dr. Gibb, Bigelow Fowler West; Dr. Ukrainitz, Bigelow Fowler South; Dr. Mellor</p> <p>&bull; LifeMark Health &ndash; Dr. Allen, Piedmont Clinic west; and/or Dynamic Physiotherapy</p> <p>For those who work on the Calgary or Edmonton campuses, there are service providers for the program in both cities.</p> <p><strong>Calgary</strong><br> &bull; CBI Health &ndash; Midpark, Deerpark or Sunridge<br> &bull; Wellpoint Health Corp<br> &bull; Life Mark</p> <p><strong>Edmonton</strong><br> &bull; Medicentres Canada Inc &ndash; Westgrove, Ellerslie, Capilano, Castledowns or Millard Health</p> <p>A few employees have had the opportunity to use this service already and the feedback has been very positive. Statistics show that the sooner someone is treated for an injury or illness, the sooner they are able to get back to work and participate in the other activities that make life enjoyable!</p> <p>If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Suzanne McIntosh, wellness co-ordinator at 403-332-5217.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format
