"Jointcare has been an integral member of St. Vincents & Mercy
Private’s early intervention team both in terms of our Return to
Work programs and our overall Workplace Health Management
Initiatives for two years. Their involvement has assisted many of
our injured employees to return to pre-injury duties in a timely
and efficient manner, at the same time providing them with the
opportunity and skills to self manage their conditions for the
long term, which is vital."
