As Wisconsin businesses re-open, they are partnering with the Marshfield Clinic Health System Occupational Health team on their full range of customizable services to help employers safely get their employees back to work during the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

The goal is to reduce the risk of an outbreak and keep employees safe and healthy, giving Wisconsin businesses and their employees peace of mind.
"We've created ways to mitigate risk at our own worksites, and it's what we want to do for employers," said Dr. Corey Cronrath, Occupational Health Service Line Medical Director at Marshfield Clinic Health System.
