BOSTON and VALENCIA, Calif., June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- American Well, a leading telehealth company, today announced that it has been selected by U.S. HealthWorks as the occupational health leader's telehealth services provider. U.S. HealthWorks recently announced the launch of its comprehensive telemedicine program, USHW CareConnectNOW, which leverages American Well technology.

"We are excited to work with American Well to bring this new technology to our customers, and expand the scope of our occupational expertise through online visits," said Joseph T. Mallas, President & CEO of U.S. HealthWorks.

Telemedicine enables us to do so in a way that's safe and effective for patients."

For two decades U.S. HealthWorks has provided high-quality medical care to treat employees with on-the-job injuries and help them to return to work as soon as possible.

"Utilizing telemedicine to extend providers, offer easier access to the right care and deliver more efficient occupational health services can dramatically improve patient outcomes," said Danielle Russella, President, Customer Solutions, American Well. "U.S. HealthWorks is recognized for being a national leader in occupational medicine.
