Shield Occupational Health

It’s with deep sadness that we announce Shield Occupational Health will permanently close on March 28, with our last day of services on March 14.

This decision was not made lightly, and the loss of this vital resource in Northeast Michigan is heartbreaking.
To every employer, driver, and worker who trusted us — thank you. Your support has meant everything, and we are grateful for the years we’ve spent serving you.

If you have any questions about final services or transitioning care, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

With gratitude,
