TEST 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 now open, sharing space with Jumbo Health in the Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center, 161 College Ave, Suite 130. There will be a Boston OHS office opening in summer of 2022. Grafton has an OHS office in the Administration Building, ground floor. Services on the Grafton campus will be expanded to include treatment of work-related illnesses and injuries in late 2022.
The focus of OHS is to provide free, convenient care to employees to help reduce workplace injuries, and improve health and safety for our employees. This will include preventive care as well as first aid and treatment following an injury or illness.
