Quick Care Without Leaving Work

Convenient Care When It Matters: Treating a Minor Illness Onsite

One evening, an employee stopped by the TargetCare clinic after feeling unwell for a few days. They had called their primary care provider earlier that day but had not received a call back and was considering going to urgent care. Having previously only used the clinic for DOT exams and blood pressure checks, they weren’t sure what to expect.

The TargetCare provider was able to perform a same-day acute visit, quickly assess the situation, and start treatment using medications stocked onsite. This allowed the employee to begin care immediately without leaving work or waiting for an urgent care appointment.

At a follow-up visit one week later, the employee reported:

• All symptoms resolved
• Felt much better and was back to normal routine
• Updated their primary care provider, who followed up a few days later
• Avoided an extra appointment or time away from work

They expressed gratitude for the convenience and timely access to care, highlighting how the clinic prevented unnecessary urgent care visits and minimized disruption to his schedule.

Why This Matters for Employers

This story demonstrates the practical benefits of onsite care:

• Rapid assessment and treatment reduces unnecessary urgent care or ER visits
• Employees can receive care without missing work
• Onsite providers offer continuity, trust, and immediate access for minor illnesses
• Early intervention improves outcomes and supports workforce productivity

TargetCare made it possible for this employee to get the right care at the right time, keeping him healthy, at work, and confident in the resources available to him.
