Executive Health Program

Overview

For more than 30 years, Mayo Clinic's Executive Health Program has combined medical expertise with efficiency to meet the needs of busy executives. The program offers a comprehensive examination with access to the full resources of Mayo's medical, surgical and laboratory facilities in a convenient one- to two-day period. (More days may be required if the executive requires additional subspecialty tests or examinations.) See program details.

Study Reveals Importance of Mayo Clinic Executive Exam

The Executive Health program offers an efficient, cost-effective way to maximize a leader's health and reduce the chance of long-term leave related to disability, illness or health concerns. Research conducted in September 2005 determined the prevalence of serious diseases and conditions in Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program patients that may otherwise have gone undetected. The results:

• 4.9% diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening disease
• 34.4% identified as having a previously undiagnosed, severe condition
• 47.6% identified as having risk factors for a serious condition

The Executive Health Program blends Mayo's traditional diagnostic expertise with the latest in preventive medicine. Your evaluation is individualized according to your personal health needs and is strictly confidential. One physician, a specialist in internal and preventive medicine, will coordinate your care. The program is offered at all three Mayo Clinic locations: Florida; Minnesota; and Arizona.

Value of the Executive Health Exam Study

A 2002 study confirmed that routine physical examinations for executives may identify health problems sooner and result in less expensive treatment.

The Mayo Clinic physicians who staff the Executive Health Program have significant experience in interpreting test results and consulting with busy executives to ensure a thorough, comprehensive and efficient examination.
