What HealthWorks Medical does

HealthWorks Medical, LLC is a privately held, occupational health services company headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky, operating three clinic locations across the state (Paducah, Mayfield, Bowling Green) and serving employers primarily in the Southeastern United States. The company delivers managed occupational health programs to mid-to-large industrial, manufacturing, and maritime employers, spanning pre-employment screenings, DOT and regulatory compliance physicals, drug and alcohol testing, workplace wellness and preventative programs, injury care and workers' compensation management, and on-site medical staffing including occupational medical directorships. HealthWorks is owned by J. Kyle Turnbo, MD, MPH, FACOEM, MRO, and led by a full C-suite including CEO Patrick Howell, COO Ronnie King, CFO Jana Smith, and CAO Connie Parr; the company is bootstrapped with no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed.

The company's core technology stack combines telehealth platforms, mobile health tools, a proprietary smart app for maritime injury response, an online employer portal (healthworks.app) integrated with the third-party GetHealthie wellness platform, and mobile pharmacy solutions. AI-adjacent capabilities overlay the services layer through predictive analytics, recommendation engines for personalized wellness, and automated injury triage workflows. The Maritime Injury Response Program is a distinct product line that delivers 24/7 virtual injury triage and treatment via per-click subscription pricing to marine operators in remote environments, with reported outcomes of a 96% success rate and an estimated $29,100 in cost savings per avoided employee offboarding.

HealthWorks makes money primarily through customized managed-services contracts with employers, supplemented by workers' compensation case billing, subscription per-click fees for the maritime program, and dedicated on-site medical staffing engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting HR, ES&H, safety, and plant managers, augmented by content marketing, lead magnets, webinars, and a self-service 'Schedule a Call' funnel on the company website. The publicly stated goal is to deliver $72 million in cumulative employer healthcare savings by 2030.

Core offering

HealthWorks Medical designs and manages custom occupational healthcare programs for employers, covering the full employee lifecycle from hiring through health maintenance to injury recovery. Core offerings include pre-employment screenings, workplace wellness programs, injury care and workers' compensation management, and on-site medical staffing with Occupational Medical Directors. The company also offers a specialized maritime injury response program with 24/7 telehealth access via a proprietary smart app for remote workers.

Product overview

HealthWorks Medical offers a unified occupational health services platform with multiple integrated service modules. The core offering consists of Pre-Employment Services (health screenings, DOT compliance, job task analysis), Workplace Wellness & Preventative Programs (corporate wellness, direct primary care, chronic disease management), Injury Care & Management (injury response, workers' comp, rehabilitation), and Work Site Care (on-site clinics, medical directorships, telehealth). Supporting these are specialized services including Drug Testing, DOT Physicals, Respiratory Fit Testing, Hearing Conservation, Pulmonary Function Tests, and Occupational Vaccinations. The company also offers a distinct Maritime Injury Response Program for marine industry clients with 24/7 telehealth capabilities. Services are delivered through fixed clinic locations in Kentucky (Paducah, Mayfield, Bowling Green) and mobile/on-site capabilities, with software integration for patient portals and wellness management. The product architecture operates as a service-based model rather than a software platform, combining clinical services with technology-enabled triage and telehealth components.

Direct peers

• Concentra: Concentra is the largest U.S. operator of occupational medicine clinics, urgent care, and on-site employer health services. Directly comparable to HealthWorks across core service lines (workers' comp injury care, drug testing, physicals, on-site staffing) but at vastly greater national scale.
• WorkCare: WorkCare provides occupational health, injury care, and on-site clinical services to employers across the U.S., with strong emphasis on industrial and manufacturing clients. Directly comparable to HealthWorks' employer-facing occ med model and on-site medical directorship offerings.
• Medcor: Medcor operates 24/7 telehealth injury triage and on-site clinic services for employers, and pioneered the navigation/triage approach HealthWorks uses to direct employees to the appropriate care level. Closest direct competitor to HealthWorks' injury triage and Maritime virtual intervention model.
• Axiom Medical: Axiom Medical specializes in occupational health, injury management, telehealth triage, and on-site medical staffing for industrial, transportation, and energy employers. Comparable to HealthWorks in its employer-focused telehealth injury triage and remote workforce offerings.
• Premise Health: Premise Health runs employer-sponsored near-site and on-site health clinics, occupational health, and wellness programs for large self-funded employers. Comparable in its on-site clinic, wellness, and occupational health bundle for mid-to-large employers.
• Marathon Health: Marathon Health delivers employer-sponsored primary care, occupational health, and wellness via on-site and shared clinics. Comparable in its integrated employer clinic + occ med + wellness offering for mid-to-large industrial clients.
• Everside Health: Everside Health provides direct primary care, occupational health, and on-site/near-site clinics to employers across the U.S. Directly comparable to HealthWorks' worksite care, direct primary care, and chronic disease management offerings.

Closely comparable to HealthWorks' clinic-based occ med service model for industrial employers.

Broad incumbents

• MedExpress Urgent Care: MedExpress (now part of Optum) is a broad urgent care network that also delivers occupational health services to employers. Overlaps with HealthWorks on injury care, physicals, and drug testing, but operates primarily as walk-in urgent care rather than employer-tethered occ med.
