Platinum Executive Medical Program

The Platinum is the most comprehensive of CITAHEALTH's appraisals, designed for the individual who feels that the demands on their health warrant closer scrutiny by a physician.

    In addition to the standard medical components of executive medical programs offered, CITAHEALTH enhances medical management with added medical screening components. Not only does CITAHEALTH further assess the physical and mental well being of its clients, but also implements the preventative and rehabilitative expertise to manage our clients' health. Some of these program enhancements include:

  • Personal assignment of every executive health client to one of CITAHEALTH's health managers - CITAHEALTH only employs health managers that are Certified Exercise Physiologists. They have the highest standard/certification in Canada designated by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. This ensures that our clients' health is being managed by some of the best health and fitness experts in Canada.

  • Computerized disease risk assessment covering 12 cancers, 4 chronic diseases and mental wellness - CITAHEALTH, in conjunction with the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, can use these tools along with medical testing and examinations to ensure our clients have access to up-to-date methods of preventative screening tools and that these tools are being used to diagnose such health concerns.

  • Nutritional Evaluation/Consult with Registered Dietition or Natruropathic Physician - Our executive health clients are given the option of having there eating habits and/or nutritional needs reviewed and expert advise provided by their choice of RD or ND.

  • Comprehensive fitness and functional body assessments delivered by certified exercise physiologists - CITAHEALTH not only provides our clients with leading edge and well researched assessments, but in situations where our experienced preventative health physician's feel further assessment or treatment is warranted, we have the in-house capability of having physical health concerns addressed by a staff osteopath, physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist and/or certified pedorthist.

  • Sleep disorder screening - CITAHEALTH realizes the growing concern with our mature executives and the significant health risks associated with undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorders. With the assistance of a sleep disorder screening questionnaire, a thorough review of spirometry and interview with our CITAHEALTH's Respiratory Therapist, our clients can be assured that this potential health threat is well looked after. In needed circumstances, we can send our clients home with advanced screening tools (including pulse oximeters) to obtain the necessary information used in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders including sleep apnea.

  • Confidential comprehensive reporting played a key role in the development and implementation of Corporate Health Risk Appraisal software that is currently used by many local and North American based executive medical clinics. This technology enables us to provide our clients with a concise & personalized, yet confidential, snapshot of their health.

  • Specialist and diagnostic referral program - With almost a decade of providing executive health services, CITAHEALTH has aligned itself with some of the best specialists and access to the most advanced diagnostic tools if such post - assessment requirements should arise.
