MMC Chosen to Provide First Aid Services for

Penn State Construction Projects

 

       PITTSBURGH, PA, (March 27, 2003) – Mobile Medical Corporation (MMC) has been awarded a three-year contract by The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, to provide work site first aid services for construction and renovation projects conducted at  the University, in conjunction with an Owner Controlled Insurance  Program (OCIP) administered by Marsh USA Inc./Pittsburgh Office.   The University’s plans include $300 million of construction projects at Main Campus locations over the next

five years. 

       A recognized provider of industrial medical services nationwide, MMC will supply nursing and first-aid care in support of workplace safety.  In recent months, workplace safety has become a focal point for Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland, states that passed legislation mandating drug-free work sites and substance-abuse testing for state-funded construction projects.

        On a day-to-day basis, MMC works closely with  contractors, labor unions, facility owners and other clients to provide a range of services:  nursing and first aid stations,  physical examinations, respiratory protection, biological monitoring for OSHA compliance, and substance abuse testing programs – all designed to promote workplace safety and help reduce worker compensation costs.

       “We furnish risk management services with the goal of minimizing work stoppage,  reducing administrative burden,  and ensuring regulatory compliance,” said Cynthia J. Latsko, president, Mobile Medical Corporation.  “By treating  injuries  at the work site, we can help workers receive early medical care and return to service as soon as possible.  Our on-site staff members treat injuries, provide follow-up care, maintain injury logs and records and submit insurance claims.”

       “We chose MMC because of the company’s experience in Pennsylvania and other regions nationwide, along with its technology that permits timely data management and reporting,” said Greg Scott, manager of  Construction, The Pennsylvania State University.
