Medical Screening Service

Get your first Medical ID…It tells your health story whenever is needed

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer devastate families and leave thousands of business owners and family members helpless. An estimated 159,900 new cases of cancer and 72,700 deaths from cancer occurred in Canada in 2007. Also, cardiovascular diseases accounted for the deaths of more Canadians than any other disease. In 2002, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 74,626 Canadian deaths. The impact of these diseases surpasses the life or death issue to have a disastrous affect on families and businesses caused by an alarming unhealthy lifestyle and late diagnosis.

Now for the first time in Canada, La Vie through its My Life is in My Hand Program is offering patients a portable personal health file that may be given (in case of emergency) to any healthcare unit anywhere in the world.

While there is no similar system of electronic medical files in Canada, La Vie’s team is proud to introduce the first Medical Screening Center that will help all Canadians to have their first Medical ID; it can save lives and cut on unnecessary testing.

The annual screening will be a proactive approach in prevention and possible early detection of diseases, and will include the following:

1. ECG,
2. Complete Blood Work (unless a test has been done in the past 12 months),
3. InBody Nutrition Analysis,
4. Complete medical profile which includes detailed information including medical and family history and risk stratification,
5. Vitals and body measurement,
6. Chart review, recommendations, and referrals (if necessary) will be provided by a physician based on each medical profile and in accordance with the most recent medical guidelines.

All results will be loaded on a USB Card which will be as the medical ID that contains all baseline information that may save lives, and give all important information for the person's family doctor or any other health care provider. Further through this medical screening, we have created a link to all health care providers and giving them accessibility to the patient's medical profile for faster medical decisions.

This service is available by appointment only and it does not eliminate the need to have the annual physical with one’s family doctor because it is not the same as the annual physical. However, this mobile and cost effective tool allows the easy interaction between healthcare units allowing doctors to make a faster and more accurate decision.
