Primary injury care is caring for non-emergency injuries sustained at work. Typical examples include cuts and bruises, injury from falls or lifting, abrasions of or foreign bodies in the eyes, and sprains of backs, ankles, and other joints.
When an injury occurs in the work setting, supervisors or managers typically direct patients to Sindecuse Health Center for treatment. If the injury isn't work-related the patient will be treated as an urgent care patient and then referred to primary care providers.
