The Executive Exam Program includes:

• A full range of preventive screening tests for early detection of cancer, heart disease and other serious conditions
• A heart (cardiovascular) fitness evaluation
• A review and update of medications, vaccinations and immunizations, including those needed for international travel

The program blends well-known diagnostic expertise with the latest in preventive medicine. Many participants have been diagnosed with a previously undiscovered condition during an executive health exam.

Our executive health doctors have extensive experience in evaluating health risk factors in healthy people and in people experiencing symptoms of illness or injury. These doctors have access to all of the resources of CGHIM and can coordinate your care, if you have multiple health concerns.
