About Us
Occupational Health Services (OHS) is a medical office caring for faculty, staff, employees, and post-doctoral students onsite at Tufts University. We are a team of nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors, and administrative professionals that will provide vaccinations, screenings, and injury management for work-related illnesses and injuries. In the past, employees who requested vaccinations or needed treatment for a workplace injury had to go off campus. Employees will soon be able to seek medical care on campus.
The Medford office is in the Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center, 161 College Ave, Suite 130. The Boston office is now open at 75 Kneeland St, Suite 602. Grafton has an OHS office in the Administration Building, ground floor. Grafton office also provides the medical services to the Grafton students.
The focus of OHS is to provide free, convenient care to employees to help reduce workplace injuries and improve the health and safety of our employees. This will include preventive care as well as first aid and treatment following an injury or illness.
