Healthcare is now more than just curing diseases, as medical practitioners develop solutions that aim to improve patients’ overall wellness.
“Health is simply the absence of any physical sickness. Wellness, meanwhile, is more encompassing concept that is rooted in a person’s overall lifestyle,” says Dr. Lizbeth Sto. Tomas, a wellness doctor of internal medicine at The Medical City Clark.
The Pampanga-based medical institution offers an executive check-up program that focuses on preventive, proactive, and personalized solutions.
According to Dr. Sto. Tomas, the doctors at The Medical City Clark’s executive check-up do comprehensive tests that allow them to check the patient’s overall condition. They personalize it based on the patient’s current lifestyle as well as his genetic family history and previous medical conditions. The same physician also oversees the same patient for a better and more comprehensive overview of the patient’s case.
Rochelle Aquino-Lagman, manager for customer relations and allied services of the hospital, notes a crucial detail in their program, “We make it a point that our executive check-up coordinators would be closely managing a patient up until they check out. The same person will also be following up on them post-executive check-up.”
Patients undergoing the executive check-up are provided a comfortable stay in an air-conditioned lounge complete with free snacks, Wi-Fi connection, and television. Those who undergo a complete physical exam have the option to be admitted to one of The Medical City Clark’s hospital suites.
Aquino-Lagman, who has a background in hotel management, describes their executive check-up program as “similar to a hotel, a mini-hotel, where we assist like a butler, up until the client will be inferred to a specialist.”
Dr. Sto. Tomas recommends an annual executive check-up for patients with an unremarkable medical history or those who don’t have any serious medical concerns in the past or at present. However, if a person is taking maintenance medications, the attending physician may require an executive check-up every three to six months.
