Occupational & Environmental Medicine

The Occupational Health Services Institute (OHSI) was established to provide a comprehensive range of occupational and environmental health services to businesses, unions, governmental agencies, communities.

While we take a universal approach to improving, promoting, and maintaining the health of workers and communities, we devote special attention to the problems and needs of minority and disadvantaged workers and communities, the specific occupational and environmental safety and health needs of our region, and to the development of innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to addressing these needs.

OHSI is a dynamic service agency bringing to bear the skills of UIC experts from many disciplines. New programs are constantly being developed based on the needs of our community. Our priorities are to provide services to this community on a local, regional, national, and international level. As with all programs of the Great Lakes Centers for Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health we emphasize the attention to minority and economically deprived groups in our services.
