The new £1.57m Centre for Occupational Health and Wellbeing at York Hospital, part of York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, houses the hospital’s OH department. It is focused on providing “one-stop shop” OH services to currently around 90 smaller businesses, including physiotherapy, psychotherapy and counselling.
