Take charge of your health this 2012

MANILA, Philippines - Statistics show that the leading causes of death are heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Most deaths from heart disease and stroke are sudden and unexpected. But these diseases are preventable and highly treatable when detected early through an executive checkup.

Prevention and early detection is the key. A medical checkup is a wise and valuable investment in your health.

At Cardinal Santos Medical Center, executive checkup packages were created by top doctors based on universally accepted standards for evaluating your physical health. You may choose a package that establishes a baseline measure of your overall health or one that will focus only on a particular health issue you are most concerned about.

Comprehensive male and female packages address gender-specific health needs while the cardiovascular package is an extensive cardiac evaluation package for heart patients or for those who want to particularly focus on cardiac health issues and problems. The diabetic-vascular package is recommended for diabetic patients, especially for those with longstanding disease or existing heart problems such as hypertension.

Nutrition consults and obesity management consultations are also accommodated through the CSMC Wellness Center. The obesity evaluation package is especially recommended for those with a BMI (body mass index) of more than 30.

Call the CSMC Wellness Center at 727-0001 local 3005 or 724-9016 for more details. You can also e-mail inquiries at ecu@csmc.ph.
