🏥 Last week, we focused on enterprise valuation and how occupational health programs are viewed inside health systems — as strategic assets or as line-item expenses.

If you haven’t yet read the full article, I encourage you to take a few minutes to do so.

When Leadership Can’t Answer Questions About Occupational Health outlines a simple but powerful reality: when leaders cannot clearly explain costs, volumes, market position, or strategic purpose, the program becomes vulnerable — regardless of how hard the team is working.

This is not theoretical. It affects capital allocation, staffing decisions, expansion plans, and ultimately the future footprint of occupational health within a system.

If this conversation applies to your organization, here is the link:

Clear answers create strategic leverage.
Unclear answers create risk.

🫂 Many of you have been asking about our conference plans for this year.

Over the last few years the traditional 3 day conference has become more cost and resource prohibitive. Right now we are expanding our virtual educational programs.

If there is enough interest in attending a shorter, 1 ½ day event, we’ll plan, but we need some feedback from you.

All corporate members are eligible to list your clinic locations on the Occmarket.

We’ve got a bit of “chicken or the egg” issue to fully launch -

Many members are ready right now for our first 2 use cases:

But we need to have enough locations listed for them/you to access.

If you haven’t yet, PLEASE submit your locations using this template - make a copy, add your organization name to the title, then email back to me - [email protected], then we’ll meet to get your full account set up.

These listings are free for corporate members and will begin to attract outside business.

When ordering exams and testing employers (including you for out of state hires) will pay a transaction fee. This will be far less than going through a traditional TPA.

We have maybe 200-300 locations submitted so far, about half are vetted and up on the site. My goal is to have 1000 by year-end. Just NAOHP and affiliate organization members. Not 15k random “collection sites”.

When we talk to employers/payers about using our Occmarket network, we are looking for value based contracts - better outcomes, not cut rates.

Meet with me any time about Occmarket here.

🎗 Reminder that all member resources are now in OccNation. Corporate/group members - you have a “main” member or account holder. Fill in your profile, then follow this guide to invite your submembers - you can swap them out as staffing changes dictate.

You’ve probably seen member-only practice briefs, guides and checklists posted here in the newsletter about every week, all in the OccNation Resource Library.

Non-member subscribers are welcome in the main discussion groups and some resources are available, please consider membership to access everything!
