Corporate Wellness

The Windsor-Essex Cardiac Wellness Centre has developed new services to assess Windsor area executives. The Corporate Wellness Program is designed to offer medical assessments for individuals through corporate medical programs. The Centre can provide a thorough, efficient, and cost effective physical assessment that would consist of the following:

Standard Tests

• complete history and physical
• 12 lead electrocardiogram
• supervised exercise stress test
• chest X-ray with radiologist interpretation
• complete lab work up
• Chemistry:
  • Glucose, Urea, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2, Calcium, Phosphate
  • AST, ALT, Alk.Phosphatase, Bilirubin, Albumin,
  • Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL LDL Ratio: Chol/HDL/LDL
• Haematology:
  
  • CBC, INR/PTT
    
  • Urinalysis
    
  • cardiac risk factor assessment
    
  • comprehensive physician's report

Optional Tests

• pulmonary function test
• breast cancer screening (mammography)
  
• prostate cancer screening (PSA)
  
• colon cancer screening (stool for occult blood)
  
• pulmonary function test (PFT loops)
  
• TSH and T4 (thyroid test)
• homocysteine (cardiac marker)
• Lp(a) (cardiac marker)
  

  The physician performing the executive assessment will be Dr. Martin McFarlane. He is an Internal Medicine Specialist with a special focus in Cardiac Rehabilitation. He has been practicing in the Windsor area since July '99. During his training at the University of Western Ontario, Dr. McFarlane was the Chief Medical Resident and has excellent knowledge in all branches of medicine including cardiology, respirology, gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology, and hematology.

It should be noted that specific women care such as PAP tests, are best provided by the client's primary physician as long term follow up and continuity of care is key for these issues. Prompt referrals will be made to the appropriate women's health specialist if requested by the client.

We have coordinated all related departments at Windsor Regional Hospital to minimize the amount of travel a client must undertake during the assessment. Most of the executive physical takes place within one room, eliminating confusion and improving efficiency. Our friendly and resourceful staff will assist each individual throughout their assessment, which can be completed in one to one and a half hours.

Your interest in this corporate wellness program not only benefits your employees but it also enhances the new Windsor-Essex Cardiac Wellness Centre. With each client we service, a portion of the physician fees will be donated to the continual development of the Cardiac Wellness Centre.
