Executive Health Program

A Typical Visit

Before:

The day before your Executive Physical there are a few things you need to do to prepare. As you will be having your blood drawn, do not eat or drink anything other than water 12 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid consuming alcohol for 18-24 hours prior to your appointment. You should avoid tobacco products (smoking, dipping, chewing, etc.) for a minimum of four hours before your appointment.

Prior to your Executive Physical you will receive a hemoccult slide kit, which screens for early detection of colorectal cancer. Please review the preparation instructions included in the kit carefully. This is very important as there may be restrictions to your diet that must be followed before completing the kit.

Business casual is appropriate for your Executive Physical.

During:

On the morning of your Executive Physical, you will meet with your consulting physician at the Metro Health Professional Office Building. Your doctor will conduct a review of your health history. Following that will be a physical examination. Based on the results of this examination, your doctor will recommend any necessary health screenings and lab work that needs to be done.

You will spend time at the various test areas in Metro Health Hospital. After completing these tests, you will meet again with your consulting physician to discuss them and any available results. If the doctor feels you may need to receive any further treatment or follow up testing, he or she will make recommendations and answer any questions you may have about your appointment or future appointments.

After:

Following your Executive Physical, you will have the chance to eat breakfast at the Metro Health Café and schedule any future appointments.

Any test results that need more time to be collected will be sent to you.
