TriHealth Corporate Health and the University of Cincinnati Advance Occupational Medicine Through Academic Partnership
TriHealth Corporate Health is proud to highlight its partnership with the University of Cincinnati (UC), home to one of the nation’s early occupational medicine residency programs. This partnership strengthens occupational medicine services for employers, workers, and the broader community. Through this collaboration, TriHealth continues its mission to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care—keeping people healthy, safe, and on the job.
Evidence‑Based Care Employers Can Trust
— Dr. Huth, TriHealth Medical Director, Occupational Medicine, and UC Resident Program Graduate
TriHealth Corporate Health’s partnership with the University of Cincinnati ensures occupational medicine care is grounded in the latest research, academic rigor, and nationally recognized guidelines, including those from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). For employers, this means access to care that reflects the most current standards in workplace health, injury management, and disability prevention.
Employers also benefit from a care team that is continuously learning and improving. TriHealth Occupational Medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants work closely with UC residents and faculty, ensuring clinical knowledge remains current and shared across the entire team—raising the standard of care at every level.
In addition, UC residents contribute to practice improvement and innovation projects that directly support employer outcomes. These efforts include advancements in hearing conservation, bloodborne pathogen surveillance, return‑to‑work communication, and considerations for an aging workforce—helping organizations promote productivity, safety, and long‑term employee wellbeing.
A Trusted Leader in Occupational Medicine and Training
— Dr. Krainev, TriHealth Occupational Medicine Physician, and UC Resident Program Graduate
TriHealth’s partnership with the University of Cincinnati underscores its role as a trusted leader in occupational medicine. Through this collaboration, TriHealth helps train and shape the next generation of occupational medicine physicians, advancing clinical excellence today while investing in the future of workforce health. Serving as a teaching organization strengthens long‑term quality of care and supports a sustainable pipeline of highly trained providers dedicated to caring for people in the workplace.
Whole‑Person Care for Every Step of the Work Life
The TriHealth Corporate Health–UC partnership reinforces a whole‑person approach to care by integrating personal health, workplace safety, and return‑to‑work outcomes. This comprehensive model reflects TriHealth’s commitment to supporting people throughout their entire work life—not just during isolated injuries or individual episodes of care.
The partnership also advances education around the value of specialized occupational medicine centers for work‑related injuries. Compared to emergency rooms or non‑specialized settings, occupational medicine centers offer focused expertise that supports safer recovery, appropriate care pathways, and timely, well‑coordinated return‑to‑work planning.
Patients and workers benefit from multiple entry points into the TriHealth system—including occupational medicine centers, urgent care, and primary care—while still accessing the same expertise and coordinated care across settings. Wherever care begins, patients can trust they are connected to TriHealth’s high standards, compassionate approach, and commitment to better health.
Through its partnership with the University of Cincinnati, TriHealth Corporate Health continues to strengthen its role as a trusted partner in workplace health—bringing together academic excellence, compassionate care, and practical solutions that support employers, workers, and communities across the region.
