If your most valuable asset was at risk, wouldn’t you protect it? More than 50 percent of the patients who have had an Executive Health Assessment at Kelsey-Seybold have had an undiagnosed, treatable condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or prostate cancer.

“These are serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions,” explains Robert S. Dickinson, M.D., Managing Physician of the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic Executive Health Assessment Program.

Every year, more than 200,000 men and women in America die from heart attacks – with no previous symptoms of heart disease. Additionally, the American Cancer Society reports that more than 1,500 people die every day from cancer-related deaths.

Although not all deaths can be prevented, studies suggest that survival rates could rise dramatically with early detection of heart disease and cancer.

“A comprehensive, one-stop approach to executive assessments can save lives,” Dr. Dickinson stressed. “The three-hour physical includes a one-hour consultation with a physician, along with same-day results on most medical tests. So if we diagnose a problem, we can provide the executive with a course of action the same day. The peace of mind that comes with the Kelsey-Seybold Executive Health Assessment is an added benefit that a company can offer its key executives.”

Kelsey-Seybold Clinic has taken a unique approach to executive examinations. Where many health assessments require several office visits, the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic Executive Health Assessment consolidates medical testing, medical expertise and consultations into one streamlined visit.

Kelsey-Seybold Clinic also offers the privacy and convenience of the Mavis & Mary Kelsey Specialty Suite. This elegant, “private suite” includes the conveniences of an office, including laptop hookups, Internet access, fax services and privacy for telephone calls.

“The model for modern health care should be what we’re developing here with our Executive Health Assessment Program,” Dr. Dickinson noted. “The goal is to identify problems early when a disease or illness can be prevented or managed.”
