If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

When a workplace injury, toxic exposure, or sudden medical issue lands a worker or business owner in an emergency room, the cost, the wait, and the disruption can be significant. For Pasadena employers and employees, having a local clinic that handles urgent medical care, occupational injuries, workers compensation processing, and return-to-work evaluations under one roof is the difference between weeks of disruption and a same-day plan.

St. George’s Medical Clinic is an established Pasadena medical clinic at 1750 East Colorado Boulevard, specializing in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The clinic was established in 1985 and serves Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. Dr. Glen John Apramian, MD is the Medical Director and Primary Treating Physician – a Keck School of Medicine of USC graduate (1982) with over 40 years of experience, serving numerous Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller businesses across the region. The clinic operates as a comprehensive outpatient medical center with urgent care, physical therapy, X-rays, drug testing, and workers compensation services under one roof.

What Is St. George’s Medical Clinic’s Specialty?

St. George’s Medical Clinic is a Premiere Occupational and Environmental Medicine Facility. The specialty focuses on health and safety issues that arise in workplace settings – injuries that happen on the job, illnesses caused or made worse by workplace conditions, and the medical-legal documentation that connects workplace events to medical treatment.

Occupational and Environmental Medicine covers a broad scope: pre-employment physical examinations, fitness-for-duty exams, respirator and asbestos exams, on-the-job injury management, laceration repair, toxic exposure evaluations, blood-borne pathogen exposure protocols, OSHA-mandated physical examinations, and disability management. Dr. Apramian also handles modified duty determinations – the critical step that lets injured workers return to work in a restricted capacity rather than waiting out a full recovery off the job entirely.

St. George’s is a member of all current preferred provider Medical Provider Networks (MPNs) for various workers compensation carriers. The MPN network membership is what allows the clinic to seamlessly bill workers compensation insurance and avoid the friction that would otherwise come with split-billing between health insurance, workers comp, and out-of-pocket payment.

Who Operates the Clinic?

The clinic has been led since establishment by Dr. Glen John Apramian, MD, who serves as Medical Director and Primary Treating Physician. Dr. Apramian earned his medical degree from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California in 1982, and has over 40 years of experience in family medicine, occupational medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and preventative medicine. He is bilingual in English and Spanish.

Dr. Apramian’s responsibilities extend beyond clinical care – he serves as the Primary Treating Physician for numerous Fortune 500 companies as well as smaller businesses, meaning the clinic handles a high volume of workers compensation case management on behalf of corporate clients. He is also available 24/7 after hours to answer questions for employers, adjusters, and to assist with triaging patient care.

In September 2025, Dr. Apramian was honored as a keynote speaker at the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) conference – reflecting the clinic’s recognized expertise in occupational medicine within the California workers compensation ecosystem.

The clinic also employs bilingual staff – an important feature for a Pasadena clinic serving the diverse workforce of the San Gabriel Valley.

What Services Are Offered?

St. George’s Medical Clinic offers a comprehensive set of services that combine occupational medicine with general medical care:

Urgent Care – sinus infections, flu/cold, urinary tract infections, pink eye/conjunctivitis, skin rash, allergies, and other acute conditions
Physical Therapy – on-site rehabilitation, including injury recovery and chronic condition management
X-Rays – diagnostic imaging on-site, eliminating the need for a separate radiology referral
Drug Testing – pre-employment, random, and reasonable-suspicion drug screens
Free TB Tests – tuberculosis screening required for healthcare workers, food handlers, and certain other occupations
Yellow Fever Vaccine – travel medicine vaccinations
Pre-Employment Physical Exams – required by many California employers before hire
Fitness for Duty Exams – return-to-work evaluations after injury or extended leave
Respirator/Asbestos Exams – required for workers handling hazardous materials
OSHA-Mandated Physical Examinations – federally required exams for certain occupations and exposures
On-the-Job Injury Treatment – lacerations, toxic exposures, blood-borne pathogens
Disability Management – determinations of modified duty, return-to-work timelines, and case management
Laboratory Testing – on-site lab services

The clinic’s integration of urgent care with occupational medicine means an injured worker can be seen, x-rayed, treated, and given a return-to-work determination in a single visit – avoiding the multi-day, multi-location process that traditional emergency room care often involves.

What About Urgent Care Services?

While Occupational and Environmental Medicine is the clinic’s primary specialty, St. George’s also handles acute urgent care needs for the general public – sinus infections, colds, flu, urinary tract infections, conjunctivitis, allergies, and skin conditions. Patients can be seen without an appointment during clinic hours.

The advantage of an urgent care visit at St. George’s versus a hospital emergency room is significant: lower cost, shorter wait times, and on-site X-rays and lab work for diagnosis. The clinic operates Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM and is closed weekends. The clinic accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Medicare, Kaiser Permanente, Cigna, and other major providers.

How Does the Clinic Work with Doctor2me for Home-Based Care?

For patients who need ongoing primary care between urgent visits, or who would benefit from in-home physician visits for chronic condition management, Doctor2me physicians visit patients directly at their home for routine checkups, chronic condition management, medication reviews, and other concerns that don’t warrant urgent care or emergency room visits.

For seniors, post-surgical patients, or homebound adults in the Pasadena area, in-home physician visits eliminate the transportation barrier that often delays routine care. Doctor2me serves the greater Los Angeles area, including Pasadena and surrounding San Gabriel Valley cities.

What About In-Home Recovery After Treatment?

Many St. George’s patients – particularly those recovering from workplace injuries, post-surgical patients, or those managing chronic conditions – benefit from short-term in-home support during recovery. This can include assistance with daily activities, medication reminders, mobility support, and companion care.

A Better Solution In Home Care is an in-home care provider in the Doctor2me network serving Los Angeles County – including Pasadena and the broader San Gabriel Valley. The agency provides caregivers for adults recovering from injury, illness, or surgery, or for older adults needing ongoing assistance to remain safely at home.

For patients leaving St. George’s after a workplace injury who need short-term in-home assistance during their modified-duty recovery period, an in-home care agency can be a critical bridge.

What About Sexual Health Resources for Adults?

Comprehensive adult wellness includes sexual health – a topic that traditional occupational medicine doesn’t typically address directly, but that is often relevant for adults navigating chronic pain, injury recovery, or major life transitions.

Sex & Sensibility is an adult sexual health and intimacy coaching provider in the Doctor2me network serving Los Angeles County and the Bay Area. The provider offers professional sexual health consultation as part of a broader network of adult wellness resources complementing clinical care.

What About Hospice Care for Terminal Conditions?

For Pasadena families dealing with terminal illness – including end-stage occupational lung disease, advanced cancer, or other serious chronic conditions – hospice care provides specialized end-of-life support focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of remaining life.

Westlake Village Hospice, Inc. is a Medicare-certified hospice in the Doctor2me network, serving Ventura, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties – a service area that includes Pasadena.

Services offered through Westlake Village Hospice include nursing services, home health aide, counseling, homemaker, medical social services, medical supply services, occupational therapy, physician services, physical therapy, short-term inpatient care, and speech pathology services.

For Pasadena patients or family members transitioning into hospice care, hospice services can be provided at the patient’s home, an adult care facility, or other care setting – wherever the patient is most comfortable spending their final months.

Where Is St. George’s Medical Clinic Located?

St. George’s Medical Clinic is at 1750 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, California – the second-largest city in the San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles County, known for its history as the host city of the Tournament of Roses Parade and the Rose Bowl, the Norton Simon Museum, and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

The East Colorado Boulevard location places the clinic on Pasadena’s main east-west commercial corridor, near Pasadena City College, the Playhouse District, and within easy reach of the broader San Gabriel Valley medical corridor. Major nearby employers include Caltech, Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena Unified School District, and a wide range of small and mid-size businesses – many of which rely on St. George’s for occupational medicine services.
