About Agile Occupational Medicine

Agile drives patient outcomes through a core focus on quality care for injured workers. The Agile approach is an aggressive care management philosophy where we focus on the speed of care - from the time it takes to get through a clinic visit to every aspect of follow-up care - our goal is to make sure patients get the care they need in a timely manner. We treat patients with respect while working with case managers and claims teams to assure every aspect of the workers' compensation process goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Our team members commit to continual process improvement and have the mindset that every employee has a responsibility to identify opportunities to improve our processes to achieve the best patient experience and outcomes.

Agile is an equal opportunity employer. We foster an inclusive work environment and strive to provide opportunities for people dedicated to quality work performance regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. As a veteran owned / managed organization we appreciate and support disabled veterans.
