The WorkStrong program is a UC campus-wide initiative that was created to help decrease costs associated with worker’s compensation claims. Physicians at Newport Urgent Care or Occupational Health will recommend faculty or staff members who have experienced a worksite injury to our program. WorkStrong is a free and comprehensive program that is designed to meet the specific needs of each client. Our goal is to provide a fun and challenging environment for education, awareness and improved health. Our mission is to empower WorkStrong clients with new knowledge and behaviors to support their health and well-being for a brilliant future.
