Occupational Health

Staying well at work

Occupational health services are available to IU Indianapolis and IU School of Medicine employees. If you've experienced a work-related injury, illness, or exposure, we want to help you get back on track. An appointment is not necessary for the initial evaluation. We will see you on a walk-in basis at first, and then follow-up appointments will be scheduled in advance.

If an IU Indianapolis or IU School of Medicine (IUSM) employee needs treatment for a work-related illness or injury during a time when the clinic is closed, we have alternative options for receiving great care. Employees should fully complete an Indiana University Incident Report prior to seeking care.

IU Indianapolis and IUSM employees with life-threatening injuries should be seen at IU Health Methodist Hospital Emergency Department. Employees with less serious injuries are to go to Concentra, located at 5940 Decatur Blvd, Indianapolis, IN 46241. Call Concentra at 317-856-2945.

*Please note that we are unable to serve employees in place of their primary care physicians.
