From PartnerMD, SHRM-Atlanta’s Official Concierge Medicine Partner

How do you protect the health of your company’s most valuable people before it becomes a business risk?

Busy schedules, constant travel, and high-pressure roles often cause executives to put their health last.

It is not uncommon for critical health issues to go unnoticed until they become emergencies, taking key leaders out of the game when you can least afford it.

That’s why many Atlanta companies turn to PartnerMD for executive physicals that support their leaders’ long-term health and performance.

We have worked with leadership teams across the region to identify hidden risks early, keep small issues from becoming big ones, and support long-term performance and well-being.

But what actually happens during an executive physical?

If you are considering this benefit for your company, here is what your executives will experience when they visit PartnerMD.

Step 1: Personal Consultation for a Customized Physical

Before any testing or labs are scheduled, the process begins with a personal consultation between your executive and our Executive Health team.

During this discussion, we learn about their specific health concerns, goals, and priorities.

This allows our team to customize the physical based on their needs and ensure it provides the most clinical value possible.

Step 2: Preparation Begins Weeks Before the Physical

Following the initial consultation, we schedule lab work to be completed several weeks before the day of the physical.

This includes advanced testing that goes beyond the standard lab panel. We often include the Cleveland Heart Lab Advanced Cardiac Profile, which provides a deeper evaluation of cardiovascular health markers and inflammation.

For some executives, genetic testing like the OpenDNA polygenic risk score may also be added. This helps assess future risks for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

Having these results in hand ahead of time allows our physicians to personalize the day of the physical based on the executive’s health profile and priorities.

Step 3: Day of the Physical — A Seamless, Coordinated Experience

On the day of the physical, we manage the entire schedule for your executive from start to finish.

All appointments, screenings, and consultations are carefully coordinated in advance and provided to the executive before the visit. This ensures they know exactly what to expect and allows the day to run smoothly without unnecessary waiting or downtime.

Throughout the day, they will move through a series of advanced screenings and evaluations, including:

  • CT heart scan with calcium score to assess cardiovascular risk through imaging
  • Body composition analysis to measure body fat, muscle mass, and metabolic rate
  • Consultations with a registered dietitian or stress management specialist to interpret results and create an actionable wellness plan
  • A dedicated session with Francisco Carreño Gálvez, Ph.D., PartnerMD’s certified health coach with a doctorate in exercise physiology, who helps translate clinical results into real-world strategies for exercise, nutrition, and stress management

This hands-on, personalized approach ensures the executive receives both detailed data and expert guidance to make sense of it, all within one efficient day.

Step 4: Up to 90 Minutes with the Physician — A Key Part of the Day

A cornerstone of the experience is up to 90 minutes spent in a private consultation with a PartnerMD physician, scheduled as a dedicated part of the day. This is where everything comes together.

During this extended, unhurried consultation, the physician will review all test results, discuss health goals, and develop a personalized plan with the executive.

The conversation goes beyond the numbers to focus on the executive’s long-term health priorities and strategies, such as:

  • Addressing cardiovascular risk factors or early warning signs from screenings
  • Developing strategies to manage stress, sleep, or energy levels
  • Discussing weight management goals or metabolic health improvements
  • Exploring preventive steps for longevity and optimal performance
  • Reviewing family history or genetic testing results and how they impact future health decisions

Our physicians provide clear, actionable recommendations. If follow-up is needed, we advise the executive to work with their existing primary care physician or specialists.

For those seeking an ongoing relationship, PartnerMD can serve as their concierge primary care provider, offering the same personalized approach year-round.
