Fire Departments - Inter-State Diagnostic

Inter-State is an extremely unique “mobile medical unit” that brings the Dr.’s office directly to your fire department. Just pick a convenient date and time and we will bring our team of highly skilled medical professionals and all the necessary equipment straight to you. Our team will perform an extensive physical examination for each of your firefighters which will comply with regulatory agency requirements including O.S.H.A., P.E.S.H and N.F.P.A. All of your firefighters will be examined in the comfort of your own fire department. All records will be kept completely confidential and in one safe place which will help your department stay organized and efficient. After we conclude our in-depth examination, Inter-State will send a summary sheet of the firefighters who were seen, and what services they received. We will also send a classification breakdown for all of the firefighters along with individual certificates classifying each firefighter according to the results of their medical exam. Confidential lab results, sent in individually sealed envelopes will be mailed so that the firefighters are equipped with their blood test results.

Our extensive physical includes:

  • EKG (heart test with computer and physician interpretation included)
  • Spirometry (pulmonary function test to analyze lung capacity)
  • Audiometry (hearing test)
  • Blood work (includes 47 different lab tests)
  • Height, weight, blood pressure and vision testing
  • Physical exam with a licensed medical professional who reviews the health risk assessment and all results of tests
