STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - TelAve -- Starting a new job? Applying for a professional license? Need to meet specific regulations or compliance requirements? Hurt on the job? Chances are you have been fingerprinted and drug tested before—or will need these services at some point. With increasing security compliance and legal regulations, the biometric and occupational health industries are projected to grow by 25% (biometric) and 12.6% (occupational health) by 2032. Dr. Carlos M. Barrera recognized this opportunity and acted on it by founding CMB Group. Established in 2022, CMB Group is a multidisciplinary consulting and advisory firm specializing in healthcare consulting, biometric consulting, chiropractic medicine, and occupational health services. The firm manages the entire logistical phase of the pre-hiring process—from fingerprinting and I-9 verifications to pre-employment laboratory testing, blood work, drug testing, and more.

Dr. Barrera, a chiropractic physician, healthcare executive, businessman, entrepreneur, college professor, and native Staten Islander, has secured contracts with federal and state agencies, major corporations, and other organizations, positioning CMB Group as a leading provider of these services in Staten Island and Bayonne, NJ. CMB Group opened its doors in 2022 following Dr. Barrera's sale of OneCare Health and his stepping down as the urgent care's CEO.

From its humble beginnings as a single office, the company has expanded into New Jersey and across state lines. To date, CMB Group has serviced approximately 50,000 clients across both of its locations. The firm continues to pursue partnerships with national organizations and employers to expand its reach, impact, and responsiveness to evolving community and workforce needs. In 2025, the company announced plans to launch franchise opportunities nationwide in 2026.
