Winneshiek Medical Center's Occupational Health program has a new member. Bridget Paris joins Kristen Heffern as part of the program's staff.
Paris received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Allen College in Waterloo and earned her Master of Science from Walden University in Minneapolis as a Family Nurse Practitioner. In addition to providing care through the Occupational Health program, Paris treats patients in Winneshiek Medical Center's Urgent Care service.
The specialized Winneshiek Medical Center Occupational Health program works directly with local businesses to manage employee health, wellness and injury matters by providing appropriate wellness initiatives and medical care, including rehabilitation when needed, to help minimize the overall healthcare costs of a business. Research has shown that employees who promptly return to work after an injury (within the parameters of safety) recover faster than those who have an extended leave of absence.
