International Travel and Deployment

Through the Travel Health Program, Raytheon Global Health Resources (GHR) consults with employees traveling internationally and recommends preventive measures. In 2007, GHR provided travel counseling to over 800 employees, with additional counseling to those traveling to high-risk countries.

GHR provides support to Raytheon businesses that deploy employees internationally to ensure fitness for duty and access to high standards of care while they are abroad, as well as meeting contract medical requirements. GHR also actively manages international cases involving disability or medical evacuations — including, in 2007, 37 international disability cases and four medical evacuations. All totaled, GHR handled 622 international deployments last year.
