Celebrate National Occupational Health Providers’ Recognition in April
Every year, AOHP dedicates April to recognize the important contributions of occupational health professionals. Not only do occupational health professionals take responsibility for employee care, but they have a responsibility to advocate for organizational policies that help to recognize occupational hazards and for new and safe technologies. AOHP raises awareness of these imperative contributions each spring.
In observance of national occupational health providers’ recognition weeks this spring, AOHP is pleased to provide you with the poster.
We send this poster as a member benefit to acknowledge your role in caring for healthcare personnel and to demonstrate your various roles, including educator, clinician, case manager, researcher, and manager. Display this poster in a prominent area in your healthcare facility. The poster will help your efforts to make others in your organizations aware of the good work performed by occupational health professionals in keeping healthcare personnel healthy and safe, which ensures higher quality care for patients.
• Please display this calendar in your clinic or in a prominent area in your healthcare facility.
• Use the poster to acknowledge this special month, which honor all occupational health professionals, and to recognize all year the vital work you do to promote a safe and healthy workforce, which ensures higher quality care for patients.
