We Can Help You Get Back to Work After Injury!
If you are experiencing workplace challenges due to a non-work-related illness or injury, you may be eligible for free services and support to help you stay employed or find employment. Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN) is a program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor through the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.
Our RETAIN team may be able to help you with:
Stress caused by scheduling medical appointments and filling out forms.
Uncertainty over when you can safely return to work.
Concerns about your income and how to pay your bills while recovering.
Modifications to your job that would enable you to work.
Our RETAIN team can assist you with your recovery to get your life back to normal and help you stay employed or find employment. They can help you communicate with your doctor, employer, or insurer to stay on the road to recovery and return to work, or they can contact your employer to arrange temporary strategies that will enable you to work while you heal.
Please contact us to learn more about this free program by calling our Retain Service Coordinator at 740-577-3025
Help for Quitting Smoking and Other Tobacco Use
Valley View Health Centers, a program of the Community Action Committee of Pike County, is collaborating with the Ohio Association of Community Health Clinics and other community-based health centers in Ohio to promote healthy lifestyles and wellness through a Tobacco Cessation Project. The goals of the project are to implement interventions that will 1) keep people from starting tobacco use; 2) increase tobacco screenings in our health center; 3) get more people into tobacco cessation treatments; 4) increase attempts to quit tobacco; 5) get patients more engaged in their tobacco cessation treatment; and 6) increase awareness for the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line (TQL) for providers, staff, and patients.
