Ervexia Occupational Health Launches Franchise Program to Modernize Workplace Health Services
Ervexia Occupational Health: A New Era in Workplace Wellbeing
In a significant move to redefine occupational health and wellness services, Ervexia Occupational Health has announced the launch of a national franchise program aimed at healthcare providers across the country. This innovative initiative targets existing medical practitioners who are looking to expand their offerings by incorporating workplace health services into their practices without the need to completely rebrand.
Addressing a Critical Need in Healthcare
Ervexia's franchise model allows professionals—such as chiropractors and physicians—to provide a variety of essential services to employers and employees alike. These services include drug testing, Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals, hearing tests, and on-site mobile care. The aim is to bring immediate and efficient healthcare solutions directly to job sites, which can significantly reduce the time employees spend away from work due to medical evaluations.
Matt Hale, a former executive at The Joint Chiropractic and now a partner at Ervexia, remarked on the existing shortcomings within the traditional occupational health model. He noted that many employers currently face frustration due to long wait times and inefficiencies at urgent care facilities. Ervexia aims to bridge this gap by offering a streamlined solution that brings healthcare directly to the workplace. This approach not only alleviates the burden on employees but also presents healthcare providers with a lucrative opportunity to develop a new revenue stream, potentially generating six to seven figures.
Insights from Industry Leaders
The founders of Ervexia, Dr. Don Maple and Dr. Dallas Humble, emphasize the untapped potential within the domain of occupational health. Dr. Maple started offering occupational medicine services due to the glaring need evident in the industry—employers often struggled to find responsive and reliable care for their employees. He asserts that the business thrived by prioritizing employer needs and ensuring timely service delivery.
Dr. Humble echoed these sentiments, sharing his experience of integrating occupational health services into his practice in Louisiana. With contracts secured with various government agencies and educational institutions, he underscored the financial viability of offering occupational health services, which can bypass the traditional insurance billing complexities.
