Executive Health

Especially in these difficult economic times, the world of big business is one that is riddled with stress. With the responsibilities that come with heading a business, such as frequent travel and long hours, many executives find themselves with little time to look after their own health. At PartnerMD’s Concierge Medical Practices, we understand the importance of executive health—to both executives and their employers—which is why we offer the Executive Physical.

Because of today’s fast-paced lifestyles, many people find it difficult to make choices that will benefit their health. The corporate world is no different. Employees are often too busy or too tired to exercise and eat right, so their Nutrition and Health suffers. When employees do not feel their best, their morale drops; consequently, businesses experience lower levels of productivity, higher rates of turnover, and find themselves paying out large sums of money to cover their employees’ medical costs. In order to combat these issues amongst employees, many organizations have turned to Corporate Wellness Programs, which aim to provide employees with incentive to achieve higher levels of physical fitness. When workers are healthy, companies are more productive and end up paying less to compensate for medical costs. In the end, Corporate Health and Wellness Programs benefit both employers and employees financially and otherwise. Employees find themselves happier and healthier and employers find themselves with workers who generate better ideas, provide better customer service, and turn higher profits.

Many companies are becoming aware of the advantages of taking care of their most precious asset, their employees. This extends from a company’s lowliest office workers to its most powerful executives. Many executives find themselves working all hours of the day, having to make difficult decisions on a regular basis, getting little sleep, and being subject to high levels of stress. Obviously, these kinds of conditions can take their toll on even the healthiest person. Companies make huge investments in their executives. They are entrusted to make decisions that will propel their companies forward even through tough economic times. When workers are in good health, they feel better and are able to make better decisions. Executives are in charge of some of the most important aspects of their companies, which is why many companies feel that their executives deserve the highest quality care.

PartnerMD’s Concierge Medical Practices are aware of all of the elements of corporate life that post health risks to executives. Because of their stressful lifestyles, executives are often subject to high Cholesterol and Hearth Disease and high blood pressure, two harbingers of heart attack and stroke. It is for this reason that our Executive Physical not only tests for physical ailments, but provides executives with counseling in all areas of life. We test stress levels and provide our patients with the tools to cope with stress; we assess our patients’ Nutrition and Health and can recommend a Heart Healthy Diet Plan for each individual; and our Exercise Physiologists can suggest Exercises to Prevent Heart Attack and combat other chronic illnesses. Our Central Virginia Family Physicians make Prevention and Wellness their foremost focus. Our caring professionals work with patients to come up with plans that will optimize their health before symptoms of unhealthy living arise.
