California Health & Longevity Institute Launches The Healthy Executive Program

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- California Health & Longevity Institute located at Four Seasons Hotel, Westlake Village, California has launched The Healthy Executive Program—an executive physical that transforms a routine medical checkup into a personalized health experience.

Designed for busy executives and professionals, the team of world-class physicians and lifestyle experts offer a convenient one-day, in-depth analysis, diagnostic testing, screening and a physical exam, that provides insight into a person's current medical, physical and emotional health.  This is complemented by a personalized, actionable plan to facilitate healthy lifestyle changes and improved performance in all aspects of a person's life.

"With tremendous stress and little time to care for themselves, executives are at great risk for heart attacks, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases," says Terry Schaack, M.D., medical director of California Health & Longevity Institute. "The Healthy Executive Program is ideal for busy executives who want to be up-to-date on the status of their health but want a private, luxurious and world-class check-up in one location and in one day."

Ranked by Worth magazine as one of the "Top 10 Executive Health Programs" in the United States, California Health & Longevity Institute has on-site, specialty practices under one roof that include: Internal Medicine, Gastrointestinal Health, Radiology, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry and Dermatology.  In addition, nutrition and fitness experts work with physicians to create personalized lifestyle suggestions that integrate seamlessly in the routine of today's busy executives.  Each executive receives an extensive customized report, health profile and recommendations for follow-up activities and lifestyle enhancements; it's a snapshot of a person's future health.  

In addition to a series of tests and meeting with top physicians and lifestyle experts, executives also receive:

• Private medical suites;
• Breakfast, served in the medical suite after early morning blood draw;
• Lunch, served at the Serenity Pool or in the Lobby Lounge;
• Complimentary access to the Executive Library for relaxation;
• Complimentary access to The Spa and outdoor Serenity Pool throughout the day to relax in between appointments;
• Complimentary access to Fitness Center with daily fitness classes, sauna and Mediterranean-inspired indoor pool, with the option of time to work out built into your schedule;
• 24-hour Business Center, including an Apple iMac and Windows personal computers; and
• Wireless Internet access throughout the property.

"I am a true believer in the California Health & Longevity Institute's program as it has truly improved my life and I am quite certain, my longevity," says Ken Collom, partner at Cane Bay Partners VI, LLLP a financial services firm. "The wellness plan devised for me by the Institute's team of professionals was educational, approachable and sustainable; with life-changing results not requiring lifestyle sacrifices."

Studies show that expenditures on executive health and preventative healthcare result in a positive return on investment by improving early prognosis, identifying potential risk factors and assisting individuals to create a healthier lifestyle thereby preventing serious future issues.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 105 million people in the US are pre-diabetic or diabetic," says Dr. Schaack. "We're seeing that a wellness program that starts with corporate leaders can help make for a healthier workforce and decrease corporate healthcare costs."

A study from the University of MichiganAdministration Research Center discovered that managers who underwent physical examinations had 20 percent less health care insurance claims and also missed 45 percent less work hours compared to those who did not have an exam.

In addition, according to the 2009/2010 Staying@Work Report: National Business Group on Health by Towers Watson, companies with the most effective health and productivity programs experienced "superior human capital and financial outcomes" including: 11 percent higher revenue per employee, 1.8 fewer days absent per employee and 28 percent higher shareholder returns.

According to the report, companies that implement health and productivity programs are also more likely to have lower health care costs, lower levels of presenteeism, fewer lost days due to disabilities and lower levels of turnover relative to their industry peers.

The Institute's Healthy Executive Program has helped numerous global business leaders better understand their health and make improvements for sustained personal and professional performance.
