Executive Health Program

South Denver Internal Medicine Executive Health Program at Sky Ridge Medical Center.

The Executive Health Program at South Denver Internal Medicine is separate from our concierge care program. It is designed for individuals who currently have their own doctor but desire a more detailed preventive health examination. The Executive Health Program is geared for corporate executives, business owners, working parents or any active individual whose time is at a premium. This comprehensive examination requires just 3 to 4 hours of your time. The goal of our custom-designed Executive Health Program is to create a unique wellness plan for each individual, identify medical risk factors, and discover potential health problems. You will receive a comprehensive written report regarding your current health status detailing the steps you need to take to improve your health and wellness. This report can be shared with your doctor.
