Fitness for Business Travel Services 
Travel is an accepted and common part of American business today. Employees from many diverse parts of the organization may be asked to travel within or outside the US, with trips ranging from an occasional one week visit to multi-year expatriate arrangements. All travel entails some risk, but forward- looking companies treat this like any other; one that can be identified, managed and minimized. As occupational health experts, we specialize in evaluating your travel situations and the people who will fulfill them, thus creating a safer environment with less risk.
Current Situation
Business travelers are at risk for a number of illnesses and conditions: - Most common are food allergies and personal medical conditions which become life-threatening because either the employee was not aware of the condition or did not carry/display personal medical information.
- Heart attacks are the leading cause of death while on foreign travel.
- Infectious diseases (e.g. diarrhea, typhoid fever, hepatitis, etc.) are major causes of hospitalization.
- Jet lag and other circadian rhythm disturbances have been shown to exacerbate depression and anxiety, leading to other serious problems.
- Surveys typically indicate that a large percentage of overseas business travelers do not see a physician in advance of their travels. An alarming number of travelers to malaria-endemic regions are not on malarial prevention medications.
