Executive Physicals Midland, TX
Executive physicals, also known as executive health evaluations, can benefit anyone who wants a more thorough evaluation of their health and wellness. They may be particularly appealing to individuals at higher risk for certain health conditions due to their age, family history, or lifestyle.
Executive Health Care with a Personal Touch
An executive physical is a comprehensive exam covering all the basics of a standard physical, plus additional tests and screenings specific to heart health and potential cardiovascular risks. The exam includes an EKG, pulmonary function test, cardiac assessment, and screening ultrasounds of the carotids, thyroid, heart, and aorta. Lab work is also done to screen for cholesterol, thyroid disorders, liver and kidney function, and specific vitamins. Hormones can be checked upon request but may be an additional cost to the patient. The goal of an executive physical is to identify any potential health risks so they can be addressed early on before they become serious problems. By catching potential problems early and taking action to prevent them, executive physicals can help keep people healthy and productive well into their later years.
