Executive Health Program 

Though our hospital has the equipment and ability to provide full-body scans, this service is not currently available to patients who are healthy and symptom free. Full body scans for healthy patients aren’t advised by the American Cancer Society, Food and Drug Administration or American College of Radiology.

Our executive health coordinators can forward additional information and arrange an account for you. Services can be tailored according to your company's needs. If you’re interested in our services, please complete this form.

Our program stands out for its efficient, high-quality care. As a dedicated medical department, we provide executives with easy access to all necessary medical services, personalized care, and exceptional comfort and privacy. Being part of a larger foundation, we offer top-notch care, access to various medical specialties, and on-site specialized testing and follow-up care. We use an electronic medical record that can be accessed throughout Sutter Health. Our online patient portal, My Health Online, allows executives to view their medical records and email their doctors.

For the convenience of our clients, our executive health coordinators can schedule appointments for additional tests and services. More than 38 medical specialties are available at our Palo Alto location. Executives and their families are welcome to continue their primary or specialty medical care with us. If the executive is not a Sutter patient — and has an HMO plan — their insurance carrier must be contacted to ensure coverage for any follow-up care.

Screenings vary by company but can include:

• Abdominal ultrasound
• Audiology (hearing) tests
• Body composition analysis
• Bone-density testing
• Cardiac CT scan for calcium scoring
• Carotid artery ultrasound
• Echocardiogram (EKG) and cardiac stress test
• Chest X-ray
• Colonoscopy
• Digital mammogram
• Pap smear
• Physical examination
• Prostate specific antigen test
• Pulmonary function test (spirometry)
• Urinalysis: chemical and microscopic
• Thyroid functioning test
• Vision test (tonometry)

Services vary depending on the company and executive’s needs, but this is a sample itinerary for a typical day:

• 7:00 am: Lab for blood draw
• 7:15 am: Light breakfast in our executive lounge
• 8:00 am to 11:30 am: Carotid artery ultrasound, nutrition consultation, stress echocardiogram and hearing evaluation
• 11:30 am to 12:30 pm: Physical examination with a physician from our dedicated medical team. This extended appointment allows for a detailed discussion of lab results and any other concerns and is followed by a vision screening.
• 1:00 pm: After the exam, the executive heads back to 49 Wells Avenue building to shower and change before leaving

Our program coordinator walks the executive to each appointment and handles check-ins to ensure a stress-free morning.

The return on investment for the individual executive includes possible early detection of a life-threatening illness, as well as enhanced daily health and well-being.

For the employer, the return on investment is twofold. First, enhanced health has a proven ability to increase concentration and productivity, helping the executive maximize their value to the organization. Second, executives who learn to recognize the value of their own health help to promote wellness throughout the organization.

Our dedicated executive health program coordinator provides personal concierge services for our executive health clients prior to, during and after the appointment. Our Executive Health Program, started in 1956, is the oldest one in the U.S. Because of our international reputation for success, it’s common for a client to fly in for an appointment at one of our clinics.
