In Pennsylvania, the return-to-work program is an initiative that is endorsed by many healthcare providers to assist injured workers to return to their lifestyle and working potential. This initiative is a collective partnership of workers, union representatives, employers and healthcare providers to return an injured worker to his pre-injury life and working ability.

The methodology of the return-to-work program is to coordinate healthcare services, vocational rehabilitation and claim handling with the injured individual’s needs in mind. By combining these services in one program, injured workers can look to maximize their chances of returning to a pre-injury life quicker and with more ease.
