Twin Cities Orthopedics Expands Workforce Health Services with New Occupational Health Clinic at TCO Eden Prairie

Integrated occupational health and wellness model gives employers a single partner for hiring, prevention, injury care, recovery, and workforce performance; new clinic is led by Dr. Peter Swann

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO) announced the expansion of its workforce health capabilities with the launch of comprehensive occupational health services at TCO Eden Prairie, led by occupational medicine physician Dr. Peter Swann, MD. The offering further strengthens TCO’s ability to serve employers through every stage of the employee journey — from hiring and prevention to injury treatment, recovery, and return-to-work coordination.

The occupational health specialty integrates directly with TCO’s Health Quotient employer wellness program, creating a seamless, end-to-end workforce health solution designed to simplify care for employers, employees, brokers, and HR leaders.

Health Quotient, powered by Twin Cities Orthopedics, launched in 2021, is a direct-to-employer health and wellness service, which is recognized as a leader in the delivery of programs to help employers support the safety, health, and performance of their workforce. The program partners with companies to improve employee health and prevent injuries, while decreasing healthcare and workers’ compensation costs. Whether conducting on-site fitness and wellness challenges, providing education on ergonomics at employer locations, or delivering pre-employment testing, annual job-demand physicals, screenings and exams at TCO, Health Quotient is dedicated to providing best-in-class services, with the goal of preventing disease, illness, and injury among employees, while also facilitating the full restoration of workers’ functionality through specialized physical therapy and a work conditioning team.

Dr. Swann Leads New Program; Focused on Improving Workforce Health

Dr. Swann joined TCO on April 1 and practices at TCO Eden Prairie. He brings national and regional experience in occupational medicine, workers’ compensation, and employer health strategy. His background spans clinical care, medical oversight for large employer populations, and consultation on regulatory and legislative issues affecting occupational and family medicine.

“Joining TCO to launch occupational health services is an incredible opportunity,” said Dr. Swann. “TCO’s commitment to quality allows us to raise the bar for workforce health, and I’m looking forward to partnering with employers to help their teams stay healthy, safe, and ready for work.”

The new occupational health program allows employers to access a comprehensive range of services through one connected care partner, including:

• Pre-employment testing and screenings
• Annual job-demand physicals
• Drug and alcohol testing
• Government-regulated examinations
• Workplace injury care and workers’ compensation services
• Return-to-work evaluations and planning
• Follow-up care coordination

By integrating occupational medicine with TCO’s nationally recognized orthopedic expertise and Health Quotient’s employer wellness platform, organizations can now streamline workforce care while improving employee experience and reducing administrative complexity.

A Better Path: From Streamlined to Strategy to Savings

“Adding occupational health really completes this picture for us,” said Max Lipset, Director of Health Quotient. “Now, employers can come to us for anything related to workforce health and wellness, and we’re excited to make things simpler and more connected for the teams we support. It’s exactly the kind of seamless experience we’ve been working toward.”

Lipset noted that this new program helps organizations bring big picture strategy to their healthcare vision, and while certain industries, like heavy duty manufacturing and public safety/first responders align more succinctly, the program spans broadly across most any industry.

“We tailor the approach given the need, as we focus on proactive and coordinated care for employers and employees,” said Lipset. “It’s not one size fits all, we customize our program based on the industry, type of work and specific job demands.”

Lipset added that turnkey efficiency is a must, and organizations look to save money while improving care, culture, and performance.

For employers, the expanded offering creates a more proactive and cost-conscious approach to workforce health. Preventive screenings and job-demand testing help ensure employees are physically prepared for their roles, while integrated injury care and orthopedic access can help reduce downtime, accelerate recovery timelines, and improve return-to-work outcomes. The model also emphasizes continuity of care — reducing the fragmented experience many employers and injured workers face when navigating multiple providers, clinics, and systems.

Occupational health services at TCO Eden Prairie include pre-employment testing, annual job-demand physicals, drug and alcohol screening, government regulated exams, injury care and workers’ compensation, return-to-work services, and follow-up care coordination.
