Medical Surveillance Program

Medical surveillance is the systematic assessment of employees exposed or potentially exposed to occupational hazards. This assessment monitors individuals for adverse health effects and determines the effectiveness of exposure prevention strategies. A medical surveillance program includes the analysis of both individual and aggregate surveillance data over time, with the goal of reducing and ultimately prevent occupational illness and injury.

"FOH is a single point of services and programs for us that covers the entire nation, offering the whole range of medical exams. Their high standards conform to the most current guidelines."
- Medical Director, U.S. Secret Service (USSS)
