At The Institute for Optimal Health, we "go beyond your Father's Annual Physical". Each of our expert Board-Certified Physicians spends an extended one on one period personally evaluating, educating and discussing the state-of-the-art evaluation. That means your executives get the most extensive examination and we take the time to make sure all their concerns are addressed.
With the latest technology, including 64-Slice CT Heart Scans and 3-D Virtual Colonosopy, our exams are able to detect the earliest evidence of the leading causes of death and disability years before any other tests. These tests are easy, non-invasive and allow the complete executive's exam to be completed in one comfortable and informative day. And, because the latest medical research has shown these tests to be far more effective than stress tests, conventional colonoscopy or blood tests at detecting cardiac and cancer risk, your executives will get the best possible protection of their health and the "Peace of Mind" that comes with it.
Best of all, while the The Institute for Optimal Health Executive Exams are the most comprehensive and effective you can find, we are also the most cost-effective.

Company Sponsored wellness programs create large savings for any business
A company sponsored wellness program creates large savings for the small or the large company. In fact, Marlene Henkin, special assistant to the secretary of the Pennsylvania Health Department, said workplace wellness programs could reduce workplace health costs 25 percent, even more if you factor in the impact on disability and absenteeism. This potential savings does not include the impact that wellness programs have on increasing recruitment of talented employees, improving employee retention and improving productivity.
Importantly, one wellness model does not work for every company. Factors to consider include the desire to have an in-house or external administrator, the size of the company, inclusion of employees-at-large or limiting the program to management and identifying the individual goal of the company. Each company, small or large, has different needs and we work with them to identify and shape their goals. Clarity is essential to create an effective strategy.

Our Corporate Liaison office is there to make sure your executive has their every need attended to throughout the year. From special dietary needs to complex travel arrangements to providing a private office with phone, fax and internet access we want to make sure the Executive Physical is a completely stress-free and rewarding experience.
Company Health Cost Containment
Rising health care benefits costs are a major concern for every company. Your investment in a Corporate Wellness Program can help to control the increases in your health care costs with a Return on Investment of $2.30 to $5.00 for every dollar spent. The United States is the leader in health care spending but still ranks 6th in life expectancy. As our ability to extend the life of those with disease increases, it is a certainty that those health care costs will continue to increase. Only preventive medicine holds the potential of limiting your company’s future health care expenditures.
More than 60 percent of health care costs are related to heart disease alone. New technological advances allow us to identify who is developing heart disease as much as 10 years before they are at risk for a heart attack or need expensive and invasive treatment. Risk factor modification coupled with targeted pharmacological intervention makes it possible to dramatically limit the health care costs associated with heart disease.
As much as 30-60% of all cancers in the United States are related to lifestyle and modifiable risk factors. These cancers, and their associated costs, can be prevented with early identification, screening and intervention for those at risk.
Controlling Your Health Costs
Your company’s health care costs are a direct result of the presence of health risk factors among your employees. As the average number of risk factors per employee increase, so does the average amount of medical claims.
In a recent study by the University of Michigan, employees with 3 or more health risk factors had medical claims 78% higher than those with 0 or 1 risk factor. Many, if not all, of these risk factors can be modified. The key is to identify which risk factors are present and then to target cost-effective strategies at reducing the prevalence of those risk factors among your employees.
Implementing Your Cost Control Program
The First Step is to identify health care risk factors within your organization. Most claim dollars are spent on high risk individuals.
The Second Step is reduce risk factors with a Corporate Wellness Program. Although most health care costs result from high risk individuals, all high risk individuals began as low risk.
Your Corporate Wellness Program can target high risk employees to lower their future health care costs. The potential savings by keeping low risk employees from becoming high risk employees is even greater.

Smoking has been shown to be physically as well as mentally addictive. The costs of providing health care to a smoker are significant and continue to escalate with time.
Cardiovascular disease- heart attack and stroke kill more people than the next five causes of death of adults in the US. This includes cancer. In 90% of people, cardiovascular disease is preventable with appropriate risk factor identification and treatment at an early stage. Cardiovascular disease prevention is a fundamental component of a company wellness program.
Diabetes-The rate of diabetes is increasing rapidly in the US. This is due to the increasing number of individuals younger than thirty who are diagnosed with diabetic and pre-diabetic disorders. Diabetes leads to the development of cardiovascular disease including stroke and heart attack.
