Executive Physicals in the Pittsburgh area might seem like spicy buzzwords in healthcare, but the origins of this in-depth medical exam are rooted in grave mistakes made by some of the biggest companies in America. We’ve since learned from those mistakes.
In the early 2000s, two of McDonald’s CEOs passed away within a year of one another. CEO Jim Cantalupo died of a heart attack in April 2004. His predecessor, Charlie Bell, died January 2005 after being diagnosed with colon cancer just weeks after stepping up. This was a horrible tragedy.
How could this happen? It is illegal to discriminate against a person for their health when considering them for a promotion. So, how can companies safeguard against this happening again, and how can those climbing the business ladder make sure their job isn’t detrimental to their health?
It is up to Cantalupo and Bell’s doctors to say if these gentlemen could have avoided their ends. There are many key indicators to detect a high risk for heart attack. Annual colonoscopies after age fifty can detect colon cancer with 98% accuracy. We are not helpless in preventing such things from happening again. The key is to take steps early.
Take every aspect of your health from the food you eat, activities you complete each day, how much you sleep, and your full medical history down to the aches and pains you feel day in and day out and have a team of medical professionals evaluate and offer you a detailed plan to meet your health goals. Executive Physicals leave no stone unturned when it comes to your overall health. Business owners and those keeping corporations running cannot afford to overlook even the slightest discomfort.
The purpose of this comprehensive examination of your whole health detects risks for developing any conditions that might hinder your ability to be the best at what you do. Not for informing your board of trustees, but to inform YOU of how you can avoid illnesses and injuries that could put you out of commission.
You can expect much more than your annual wellness visit to your primary care physician:
· Lab Work: Besides routine physical labs, your provider can test for vitamin deficiencies, thyroid health, food and environmental allergies, titers from previous vaccines to ensure you’re up to date, and much more.
· EKG: This test reveals the efficiency of your heart muscles by measuring the amount of electricity produced with each heartbeat.
· Medication Review: Make sure you are taking the best medications for your existing conditions.
· Audiogram: Tests your hearing
· Vision Screening
· Nutrition Evaluation and Consultation
Depending on the provider you choose for your Executive Physical in the Pittsburgh area, you could also receive travel consultations, personal training sessions, and a skincare consult.
Following a traditional executive physical, all your data is collected, including your personal health goals, and compiled into a road map to the healthiest you. Armed with an informed look at your current state of health, it is up to you to take steps toward a healthier you or continue being as healthy as you can be.
This information can seem overwhelming at first. Navigating the healthcare system is difficult to do on your own. If your executive physical found a need for specialty appointments, it can be difficult to schedule an appointment within a time you are available. Then the cycle of ignoring your health concerns in favor of work comes again.
