Our Philosophy
Everyday, physicians and researchers are uncovering new and better ways for preventing and managing heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and other health problems--discoveries that could add years onto your life. Too often, however, people do not have easy access to these medical advances. It can take years for proven, cutting-edge therapies to become commonplace outside of world-class institutions such as the University of Chicago Hospitals.
Because the University of Chicago Hospitals is an academic medical center, our physicians are involved in both research and patient care. In other words, your Executive Health physician is among the scientists who are making medical breakthroughs. This gives you immediate access to cutting-edge treatments and knowledge.
Our program also provides the type of one-on-one care that is needed to successfully prevent and manage health problems. Your Executive Health physician will spend at least two hours with you during your day here, in addition to follow-up calls. This gives you ample time to discuss everything that can potentially impact your physical and emotional health--from chronic heartburn or insomnia to job stress or a family member's illness. Your physician will talk to you in detail about the results of tests we have performed here, as well as your medical history and lifestyle habits. Then, he or she will recommend specific steps that can help you improve your health and well-being--personalized suggestions that fit with your busy lifestyle.
