Temple faculty and staff have several options for medical treatment right on the university’s Main Campus.

Temple University Employee Health Services (EHS) works to promote, protect and secure the well-being of the Temple University Community. EHS provides on-campus medical treatment for work and non-related work conditions. The staff includes Joshua Rosenzweig, a board-certified internist; a registered nurse; and an administrative specialist.

“If you’re sick or have an urgent care need and you call for an appointment before 2 p.m., you can usually be seen by the doctor that same day,” said Mark Denys, associate director of Temple University Student and Employee Health Services. “Even if you call after 2, we will try to fit you in. And if we can’t, we’ll schedule you for the next day.”

Additional services include allergy shots, blood draws, immunizations, pre-employment exams, surveillance exams and worker’s compensation.

Insurance co-pays are waived; employees covered by Keystone need a referral from their primary care physician. Work-related injuries are treated quickly and efficiently.

Thursday appointments are available with Michael Weinik, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation, who provides treatment in sports medicine, musculoskeletal, spine and trauma rehabilitation. Weinik holds a sub-specialty certification in sports medicine and has served as a team physician and consultant to Philadelphia sports teams including the Flyers, Eagles and Phillies.

For employees who have questions about their medications, Employee Health Services has partnered with the School of Pharmacy to offer a pharmacy clinic. The clinic’s services include a review of all prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs and herbal supplements to ensure their safe and effective use; a discussion of common side effects; and help with strategies for adhering to a medication schedule.

“By working to keep Temple employees healthy, these initiatives help to decrease absenteeism, decrease health care costs and increase productivity,” Denys said.
