Ergonomics & Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation Services promotes employee health and wellness and strives to minimize the impact associated with disability throughout the organization. Our team consists of three Rehabilitation Consultants; an Ergonomic and Return to Work Consultant, an Ergonomics Consultant and a Wellness Coordinator.  We are here to support you on sick leave, long-term disability and to help you transition or return to work when it is time.
