Holiday Overtime Work

by

It’s no secret that many workers face longer hours as the holidays heat up and temperatures cool down — whether it’s potholes that need filling, streets that need salting, packages that need delivering or power that needs restoring.

As overtime kicks into full gear this holiday season, with workers on the streets after normal business hours, employers’ needs for 24/7 screening services are more apparent than ever — and Mercy is here to help.

At Mercy Urgent Care, we understand the need for high-quality drug screenings and breath alcohol testing in the workplace rarely happens at a convenient time, especially during the holidays. That’s why we created Screen 24/7, a screening and testing service for employers available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Screenings typically occur within one hour of scheduling services, ensuring post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing are done conveniently and in compliance with regulation.

Employers can register for this after-hours service here or by contacting Jon Medin at jmedin@mercyurgentcare.org or by calling 828.252.3443. To learn more about how Screen 24/7 can assist your company, click here.

Saliva Drug Screening

by

Is your company looking for an accurate but less invasive drug screening process for employees and candidates? Mercy Urgent Care now offers drug screenings using mouth swab and saliva collection options, both on-site and in-clinic.

What are the benefits of swab and saliva testing?

  • Noninvasive for applicants and employees
  • Fast, simple sample collection — skipping issues surrounding a shy bladder or delays due to insufficient samples
  • Fast results, typically available in one business day
  • Affordable costs
  • Ability to detect very recent substance use
  • Accuracy is the same as a urine drug screen (98-99% accurate)
  • Avoids risk of tampering
  • Expands the detection window

To explore using this easier, noninvasive drug screening option, either in-clinic or on-site at your business, contact Mercy Occupational Medicine at 828.274.6707 or email mom@mercyurgentcare.org.

Testing on your timeline

by

The need for high-quality drug screenings and breath alcohol testing rarely happens at a convenient time for most businesses. In fact, many occur after most urgent care clinics are closed, leaving few options aside from an expensive and time-consuming visit to the emergency room. However, Mercy Urgent Care is pleased to now bring 24/7 drug screenings and certified breath alcohol testing to our Western North Carolina communities.

Beginning on March 14, 2022, Mercy Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine will offer drug screenings and certified breath alcohol testing 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Employers can register for this service by contacting Mercy Occupational Medicine at 828-274-6707 or by emailing mom@mercyurgentcare.org. Once registered, employers have access to testing and screening services at any time, day or night.

These services can be accessed online through a convenient, easy-to-use scheduling tool, which allows companies the flexibility to secure appointments that work around employees’ schedules — or as urgent needs arise. Employers can even track progress and see results all through the secure, protected and compliant application. Screenings occur within one hour of scheduling services, ensuring post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing is done conveniently and in compliance with regulations.
