An open letter to your company executive

Dear Senior Executive:

WellMax provides individualized, comprehensive, high quality preventive healthcare. It starts with an executive physical, and then your “health portfolio” can be maintained for you over time, in cooperation with any doctors you choose.

On one level, your company leaders care about you personally. It would be a tragedy if you discovered illness. On another level, you are one of your company’s most important assets. Your responsibility to the company and to your family requires that you address health issues. A generation ago, it may have been reasonable to address health issues reactively: “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Now, available information and technology combine to make proactive healthcare important. It is irresponsible not to apply it to you. If you should discover a major health issue, an important question will be asked: could this have been avoided?

This proactive health evaluation can reduce risk, and increase performance. Recent advances in medical science allow not only early detection of heart disease and cancer, but also early detection of the processes that lead to these illnesses. This is “risk reduction.” Secondly, everyone has good and bad days, but in general each individual has a physiologic energy level, which often translates into productivity that day. The opportunity to have more energy and less stress is a second benefit of the health evaluation that is independent of early detection of disease.

Our tasks can be divided into those that are important, urgent, or both. Some are urgent, but less important than others. A quality comprehensive preventive health evaluation should rank at the top of importance. It’s about you: maximizing your vitality and longevity, about living better, longer. It is not urgent that you do it today, but let’s at least schedule it today, to recognize its importance.

The WellMax Center for Preventive Medicine offers:

  • A destination comprehensive health evaluation.
  • Health Portfolio: keeping all of your records together in one place, and insuring completion of screening tests.
  • Access: 24/7 access to a physician with a telephone call.

I am contending that our services, at this level, are not available except at WellMax. They are explained in greater detail with this letter. You are extremely valuable to your company. To your family and your loved ones, you are priceless. We hope to see you soon!
Warm regards,

Daniel Cosgrove, MD
