FROM NEWBORNS TO SENIORS AND EVERY STAGE IN BETWEEN,
SERPENTINE FAMILY CARE
pays attention to your health,
gives you the opportunity to ask questions, answers them clearly, and focuses on all aspects of your wellness.
Well Visits/Annual Medicals
If life is a marathon, think of your yearly wellness check-ups as
mile-markers, giving us a clear overview of how you’re doing and what your current health and fitness levels are.
Just like a coach, we identify both your strengths and weak areas, advise you on what needs to be done to improve, and support you in trying to achieve your best level of health. This knowledge allows you to be proactive about your wellness and make lifestyle changes if necessary.
It’s also a great time for us to review any existing health conditions,
reassess any medications you may be on, and just chat about how you’re doing. Prevention is always better than cure, so schedule your annual visit and make sure you’re ready to go the distance!
Acute Care Visits/Sick Patients
There’s a reason they say health is wealth — it’s awful to feel sick, and we’ve all been there. While some acute illnesses tend to be viral and will generally run their course within a week, there are times you need medical intervention. In such cases, no matter what the cause, just call for an appointment and we’ll try to have you seen as soon as possible. Emergencies will always been attended to immediately.
Chronic Illness Management
Living with a long-term health condition like asthma, hypertension or
diabetes? We’re here to support you. Whether you’re functioning independently or receiving hospital or at-home care, we’ll help manage and improve your daily routine. We understand how unpredictable these types of illnesses can be, and are available for consultation and advice whenever you need us, whether it’s as simple as refilling a prescription, or as in-depth as symptom management and other interventions.
We’re not afraid to have difficult conversations, offering guidance on what to expect, and giving you measurable goals to strive towards. We can also coordinate your care with your extended medical team, always being flexible and responsive to modify your treatment approach if necessary.
Occupational Health
DOING WELL BY YOUR EMPLOYEES INCLUDES
caring for their health
Oil and Gas Medicals
These are critical in the energy industry, where the workplace
environment is, by its very nature, more high-risk. As an OGUK-certified practitioner, we do well-rounded medical assessments to ensure that your staff members are fit to work offshore, providing you with all the required screening tests and evaluations for both technical crew and food handlers.
Aviation Medicals
From private and commercial pilots to air traffic controllers, we conduct fit-for-work medical examinations to ensure that these essential employees are operating at their optimum — not solely for their own safety, but also for the protection of their passengers.
We are certified to conduct these medicals on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration (USA), the Civil Aviation Administration
(Canada), and the Civil Aviation Authority of Trinidad and Tobago.
Maritime/Seafarer Medicals
In order to work on commercial vessels, mariners must provide mandatory health certifications to ensure they are competent for work at sea. Being duly certified by the Maritime Services Division of the Ministry of Transport of Trinidad and Tobago, we are authorised to conduct these medical assessments, and have extensive experience providing these services to commercial and tourism-based marine fleets.
