Celebrating Safe + Sound Week
How Certified Athletic Trainers are Changing Workplace Health and Keeping Employers and Employees at the top of Their Game
It is Safe + Sound Week, August 15 to 21, and we want to applaud our customers who are investing in the health and wellness of their workforces with occupational health initiatives. This annual nationwide event, organized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), recognizes successful workplace health and safety programs and encourages all organizations to learn more.
A win-win for employers and employees
Occupational health programs are designed to keep workforces healthy and businesses productive. Key offerings can include everything from injury assessment and care, screenings, physical exams and therapy to workers’ compensation management, employee wellness, ergonomic evaluations, and more.
“The benefit of having these resources is you see employees experience enhanced wellbeing in their jobs and employers experience increased productivity from their workforce and a reduction in healthcare costs,” says Matrix Chief Medical Officer, Ryan Heyborne, MD, MBA, FACEP.
Worksite health and safety go hand in hand
As companies continue to recognize the work environment can also affect their employees’ chronic health conditions, and their overall comfort and capabilities as a result, addressing workplace safety is becoming an increasingly important consideration.
“The workplace is starting to be viewed as a social determinant of health. We know that individuals with chronic conditions such as depression, obesity, or diabetes have the potential for higher incidences of job-related injuries, lower productivity, and longer recovery rates,” says Dr. Heyborne. “When employers help employees identify, treat, and implement on-the-job health and safety measures that support their conditions, it improves their quality of life and helps them feel healthier, which can lead to better job satisfaction and outcomes.”
The era of the Certified Athletic Trainer
Today, emphasis is being placed on introducing upstream injury prevention programs versus downstream where companies can face costly injury treatment and case management. And one approach growing in popularity is the use of a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), who brings the mindset and methodologies used for years in sports medicine.
“An athlete with a torn hamstring wouldn’t perform at their best on the field, and the same applies for an employee in the workplace,” says Scott Zimprich, Vice President of Product Portfolio at Matrix. “Beginning to think of employees as ‘industrial athletes’ is changing the way organizations implement care in the workplace. These upstream care programs work to prevent injuries before they happen, keeping your industrial athletes safe and at the top of their game.”
An ATC is a nationally-certified healthcare provider that specializes in injury prevention and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, more than 70 percent of athletic trainers hold at least a master’s degree, and athletic training students are educated to provide care in prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and organization and professional health and wellbeing1.
“Like an athletic trainer on the field, ATCs can be right on the warehouse floor building relationships and offering work readiness training, such as proper stretching and lifting techniques,” says Zimprich.
In one survey2, after engaging an onsite ATC, employers reported a 50 percent decrease in workplace injury costs, a 25 percent reduction in workers’ comp claims for MSDs, a 25 percent decrease in lost workdays, and a 100 percent favorable ROI for industrial companies.
Matrix’s systematic and scientific approach
Matrix’s Injury Prevention Program is shifting the paradigm to reduce injury risk and maximize workplace performance with ATCs observing, coaching, and evaluating the root cause of MSDs on three levels – work design, worker, and workplace.
“When you conduct an ergonomic assessment of the job function, match it with the individual employee and their overall workplace environment and what they need to be successful, you are creating a health and wellness culture that better prepares employees for their jobs,” Dr. Heyborne says. “This method incites a level of employee engagement that encourages early reporting to get ahead of any health or safety issues, and by reducing work-related illness and injury, you’re improving the health of your workforce.”
In addition to injury prevention, Matrix serves organizations across the country by delivering comprehensive worksite health services and occupational health programs. To learn more about creating healthier workplaces during Safe + Sound Week, contact our team.

Introducing a Fully Integrated Primary Care & Occupational Health Solution
Introducing a Fully Integrated Primary Care and Occupational Health Solution
Workplace health has taken on a new meaning since the spring of 2020. As we continue to navigate the pandemic, more employers are embracing on-site and near-site health services and different care delivery solutions to protect the safety and well-being of employees, while also improving their convenient access to quality care.
To meet the growing need, Matrix Clinical Solutions and Crossover Health have collaborated to provide a joint primary care and occupational health solution. This integrated service offering combines Crossover’s Advanced Primary Health model, inclusive of primary care, physical medicine, mental health and more, with Matrix’s occupational health, urgent care, and embedded laboratory solutions. In addition, this unique collaboration offers employers a nationwide fleet of state-of-the-art mobile health clinics that offer quick and convenient quality care when and where it is needed.
Now, employers can work with a single source to meet a broad range of employee health, safety, and wellness needs, including:
- Primary Care
- Urgent Care
- Mental Health
- Occupational Health
- Preventative Care
- Physical Therapy
- Wellness Events
- Virtual Care
- Labs, Tests & Screenings
“Since the pandemic, demand has skyrocketed for services to protect employee health and well-being. The new partnership between Matrix and Crossover enables us to provide employers with a comprehensive health solution that leverages on-site clinics, virtual care, mobile units, and lab services to serve the needs of workplaces and workforces nationwide,” said Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A., Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President.
Streamlining Workplace Health and Safety
Industry research1 shows that employer-sponsored health services are growing in both prevalence and scope. Nine out of ten employers support worksite clinics to improve access to care, quality of care, patient satisfaction, and productivity.
Yet, it’s often challenging for employers to manage multiple health vendors to meet the diverse spectrum of employee needs, while also improving access to quality care and the convenience of care delivery. The integrated Matrix and Crossover solution offers a streamlined process by providing employers a single source to develop and implement a customized health and safety strategy.
Both Matrix and Crossover operate in all 50 states and together have more than 6,000 clinicians. We share a dedication to patient-centered care through preventative health and foundational primary care, and occupational medicine, along with deep expertise in employer-sponsored healthcare. We look forward to rolling out the new offering and working with employers to elevate workplace health and wellness.

Protecting Frontline Retail Workers During the Pandemic
CASE STUDY:
Protecting Frontline Retail Workers During the Pandemic
Matrix Clinical Solutions, a leader in convenient access to quality healthcare, provides mobile, urgent, and preventative care services to employees and communities, wherever they live or work.
As COVID-19 began sweeping the globe, our reliance on e-commerce escalated like never before. Suddenly, online retail became the safest – and sometimes only – way for many people to obtain essential products and services. Retail workers stepped up to meet the huge demand despite uncertainty and potential risks.
From the onset, one e-commerce giant took swift action to help keep employees protected. Initially, the company worked with smaller health networks and local pharmacies to provide testing, and later, vaccinations. But with thousands of employees working across distribution centers nationwide, the online retailer needed more agile, broad-scale support.
The Advantage of Mobile Clinics
To meet employee health needs quickly and efficiently, the retailer partnered with Matrix Clinical Solutions and our nationwide fleet of Mobile Health Clinics. It began with a pilot program in Arizona that soon expanded to 120 locations throughout the country.
Matrix clinicians administered 9,400 COVID-19 vaccinations at 275 events to company employees and family members. Each mobile clinic had the ability to serve 10 patients per hour and often our Mobile Health Clinics were able to park and provide services right outside our client’s front or back door (making it very convenient for patients to access the care they needed). We also provided increased access with
additional employee health clinics set up inside the facilities. If a particular location or geographical region required additional support to address a surge in cases, our care teams were able to easily deploy and travel to meet the need.
“Throughout the pandemic, our partners have relied on us to provide the clinical guidance and health solutions needed to protect their workforces and business operations,” said Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President, Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A. “These companies have committed to educating and supporting their employees. Working together, we have been able to reduce the risk of infection and keep employees safe.”
The reach of our care delivery has gone far beyond the facility floor. Employees who were informed and vaccinated helped prevent spread of the virus among friends and family members, keeping communities safer as we continued to fight the pandemic.
How Matrix partnered with a State Health Department to provide convenient access to life-saving treatments statewide
CASE STUDY:
How Matrix partnered with a State Health Department to provide convenient access to life-saving treatments statewide
Situation
- Over the course of the pandemic, COVID-19 cases have overwhelmed hospital emergency departments, however this state was facing a dire situation with more than 90% of its surgical and intensive care unit beds in use
- Monoclonal antibody treatment has helped reduce illness severity, hospital admissions, and death for high-risk patients with COVID-19; treatment must be administered within 10 days of initial symptoms to be effective. While the Federal government was providing the life-saving drug, the challenge for States was to deploy it rapidly and – even more importantly – equitably.
- People in underserved communities had limited access to care and needed timely treatment – particularly in rural regions with few providers and care facilities capable of administering the life-saving drug
Approach
Matrix, a leader in population health management, partnered with a State public health department to rapidly bring convenient access to treatment directly to underserved communities, using Mobile Health Clinics:
- Mobilization– Matrix deployed eight Mobile Health Clinics, often moving every two weeks to serve areas of highest transmission
- Treatment– Each mobile clinic was staffed by experienced clinicians who first administered the treatment, then observed patients for an hour to ensure their comfort and safety. Many patients felt better within 24-48 hours and continued recovering at home
- Privacy and security– Patients received the intravenous treatment in one of three private exam rooms.

“Our care teams and mobile clinics were not only bringing life-saving treatment to patients who may not otherwise have received it, we were also helping to address health disparities further exacerbated by the pandemic.”

State-of-the-Art Mobile Fleet Brings Critical Care Services and Health Innovation to Minnesotans in Underserved Metro Communities
CASE STUDY:
State-of-the-Art Mobile Fleet Brings Critical Care Services and Health Innovation to Minnesotans in Underserved Metro Communities
For more than twenty years, Matrix has helped America stay healthy by providing life-changing healthcare services to individuals wherever they are. This was especially true during the pandemic, when Matrix brought critical healthcare to populations across the US. In Minnesota, Matrix partnered with the Minnesota Department of Health to rapidly deploy mobile clinics to deliver critical COVID-19 services, namely COVID-19 vaccinations and monoclonal antibody treatments. This partnership, and the services delivered, are consistent with Matrix’s vision of ensuring equal access to comprehensive quality care, for everyone, everywhere.
Providing vital healthcare services to underserved communities is a challenge in the best of times. Compound this with the surge of COVID-19 cases and sub-zero temperatures, and you have a sense of the complex challenge the state of Minnesota faced during the most recent wave of the pandemic.
Reducing Severe Illness and Hospitalizations
Prior to the Mobile Health Clinics, patients in some areas traveled up to 300 miles to get monoclonal antibody treatment. However, with the strategically placed mobile clinics, many residents were able to get treatment right in their own neighborhood. To date, more than 3,000 residents have received the monoclonal antibody treatment through the mobile clinics.
“Matrix is uniquely positioned to help because we can travel with experienced clinicians and state-of-the-art equipment to assist people who might not otherwise receive timely treatment,” said Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A., Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President. “Once treated, patients can continue recovering at home, easing the strain on overcrowded health facilities and staff.”
Each mobile clinic has three rooms for patient care and privacy. The intravenous treatment must be administered within 10 days of symptom onset and takes about two hours to complete. After treatment, many patients report feeling better within 24-48 hours.
Focusing on Patient Care and Comfort
In addition to the convenience, Matrix staff is also helping patients overcome language barriers. Several clinicians speak to patients in their native language, including Spanish, Somali and Hmong. Interpreters are also available to help patients feel more at ease.
Creating a positive patient experience is a priority for the Matrix team. “We recently received a phone call from a patient treated at one of our mobile clinics in Minnesota. She lives with multiple sclerosis and also previously had a stroke,” noted Matrix Clinical Director Meg Reese. “The patient said she felt taken care of from the moment she arrived in the parking lot, where our crew member helped her out of the car and into the clinic. She complimented the staff’s dedication to patient care and described them as being the ‘best ever’ at what they do. Comments like that are so rewarding and fuel our passion to help.”
A new benefits partnership helps employees prioritize preventative care

A new benefits partnership helps employees prioritize preventative care
Most people turn to a primary care physician when they’re feeling sick. But what about when they’re healthy?
While it’s commonly recommended that people under 50-years-old see a primary care physician every three years and those over 50 see their physician once a year, doctor visits may be the furthest thing from an employee’s mind if they deem themselves healthy. But this disconnection from care can lead to some serious medical consequences.
A study published in BMC Primary Care found that one primary care visit per year led to a 127% increase in vaccinations, 122% in colonoscopy and 75% increase in mammograms. The study notes that these care interventions not only improve long-term health outcomes but decrease healthcare costs. So, how can employees have a better relationship with primary care and prevention?
Healthcare companies Crossover Health and Matrix Clinical Solutions are attempting to answer that query by teaming up to connect workers with a joint primary care and occupational health services solution. This employer-provided benefit includes access to Crossover’s primary care model through Matrix’s onsite services, such as vaccine deployment and health screening.
“Matrix and Crossover have a very proactive approach to care — we believe the best way to deliver the best health is through prevention,” says Dr. Stephen Ezeji-Okoye, chief medical officer at Crossover. “By coming together, we represent the opportunity for employees to work with an occupational health provider and primary care provider to determine what services they need.”
For example, if an employee is receiving a vaccine at their workplace through Matrix’s providers, that provider may take their blood pressure and discover it’s elevated. The occupational health provider can then direct the employee to Crossover’s primary care team so the employee can receive hypertension management if needed, whether online or at a Crossover health center.
“Essentially, the occupational health provider can make a warm handoff to Crossover’s team, making the care system much easier to navigate for the employee,” says Dr. Ezeji-Okoye. “It’s a seamless blend of services that allows care to actually happen.”
This partnership also allows care to come to the employee. It’s much easier for workers to access health screenings and testing at their workplace, rather than making an appointment with a physician. In fact, the workplace could serve as the gateway to an employee’s healthcare journey — a journey that should start with primary care, explains Dr. Ezeji-Okoye.
However, Dr. Ezeji-Okoye notes that Crossover’s primary care model isn’t just a one-and-done check-up every three years. Instead, Crossover provides every patient with a care team, including a doctor, nurse, physical therapist, mental health therapist and health coach. In turn, this team creates a treatment plan that focuses on the patient’s concerns as well as their health goals.
“We are looking at the whole person and working to improve their overall well-being,” Dr. Ezeji-Okoye says. “A patient not being sick is not good enough for us. We are striving for something higher.”
For Dr. Ezeji-Okoye, it’s crucial that healthcare go beyond the biomedical perspective, even though doctors are reimbursed for providing procedures and treatments, such as antibiotics or surgery — actions that do not always factor in psychological or social challenges that hinders a patient’s health.
“Unfortunately, because of the way our health system is configured, you are not necessarily paid for understanding a patient’s goals, discussing social determinants of health or doing preventative care,” he says. “So, your doctor visits are short and pointed, and these larger discussions about improving someone’s health or changing their behavior are not always rewarded.”
Crossover wanted to provide primary care teams who can holistically help the patient in-person and virtually. Meanwhile, Matrix’s occupational health services can alert employees early on if they should seek care or better manage an existing condition. This also benefits the employer since workers will be more inclined to get care, rather than waiting for their condition to worsen, leading to a drop in productivity, Dr. Ezeji-Okoye explains.
“We are simplifying the employer health benefits landscape,” he says. “We will help the patient navigate more than just the primary care and occupational health system. It’s about navigating them at the right time and to right place to meet their health and wellness goals.”

Employer investment in both primary care and occupational health is growing exponentially, in large part because of the evolving workplace health and safety considerations of the pandemic-era. According to a study conducted by Mercer and the National Association of Worksite Health Centers, employers are embracing more expansive health services. Similarly, employers are making major investments in the Occupational Health & Workplace Safety Services industry, contributing to an estimated market size of $7.1b by 2022.
“The pandemic has emphasized an existing demand for employer-sponsored healthcare solutions, as well as workplace health and safety measures, with many employers seeking something more comprehensive and long-term than current offerings,” explained Stephen Ezeji-Okoye, MD Chief Medical Officer, Crossover Health. “Collaborating with Matrix will enable Crossover to offer to employers a broader range of services, streamlining the care experience and delivering meaningful results.”
Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President, Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A., added, “We look forward to working alongside Crossover starting with our existing episodic health solutions and exploring the potential to build out comprehensive and convenient solutions for employers who are taking workplace health and safety to the next level.
