Oil Patch Bits: Fairweather opens second occupational medical clinic

Fairweather LLC, an Anchorage-based provider of remote medical, meteorological and expediting services, said March 21 that it has opened its newest occupational medical clinic located at 7999 Jewel Lake Road in Anchorage.

The new Fairweather Anchorage Medical Clinic is designed to serve oil companies and contractors operating on Alaska’s North Slope. Complementing the services offered at the multi‐purpose Fairweather Deadhorse Medical Clinic in Prudhoe Bay, the new Anchorage clinic provides operators the convenience to receive customized occupational health services at either location.

The Anchorage and Deadhorse clinics are both equipped to perform random, pre-employment, post-incident and test-for-cause urine drug and breath alcohol collections and provide substance abuse training for both supervisors and employees. On-site collections are available to companies throughout the Anchorage area. The Fairweather Deadhorse Medical Clinic, an air ambulance staging facility, also provides a full spectrum of acute care, emergency services and medical treatment to operators on the North Slope.

The mission of the Fairweather medical clinics is to provide innovative solutions to help employers enhance their HSE team objectives and maintain a safe and drug‐free workplace.
