City of Waco, Texas Employee Intranet

The City of Waco offers all its full and part time employees access to immediate health services through the Employee Health Services (EHS) Department. All the nurses who work in the EHS are registered nurses who hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. They are available Monday - Friday 7am until 4:30 pm (closed Thursdays 12 pm 2 pm). Each of these nurses brings a diverse background from various specialty areas within the health care profession. This diversity makes it possible to deliver quality care to the employees of the City of Waco. The services offered at EHS are as varied as the needs of the employees.

Treatment and follow-up of job related injuries such as back injuries, motor vehicle accidents, sprains/strains, sunburns, cuts, bumps, bruises, and rashes from poison ivy or oak.
Treatment and follow-up of non-job related injuries. This includes the evaluation and treatment of injuries received while off the job.
